DiResta (surname)

DiResta is an Italian surname. It is a variant spelling of "D'Errico," which is a patronymic surname derived from the given name "Errico," the Italian equivalent of Henry. Therefore, DiResta literally means "of Errico" or "son of Errico."

The surname is most commonly found in southern Italy, particularly in regions such as Campania. Like many Italian surnames, regional variations in spelling can occur due to dialectal differences and historical record-keeping practices. The surname has also spread to other countries, notably the United States, through Italian emigration.
