Falzone

Falzone is a surname of Italian origin. It is believed to derive from the Italian word "falce," meaning "sickle" or "scythe." As a surname, it likely originated as an occupational name for someone who used a sickle, perhaps a farmer or harvester. Alternatively, it could be a topographic name for someone who lived near land shaped like a sickle. The name is found primarily in Southern Italy, particularly in regions like Sicily and Calabria. Variations in spelling, such as Falcione, are also common. The etymology is relatively straightforward and points to an agricultural or geographical connection.
