Leuzzi

Leuzzi is an Italian surname. It is primarily found in the southern regions of Italy, particularly in Calabria and Basilicata. The name is likely derived from a shortened or altered form of a given name such as "Lionello" or "Luigi," both common Italian names. Another possible origin is a variation of a regional dialectal word related to the lion (leone in Italian), perhaps denoting a characteristic or occupation associated with that animal. The surname Leuzzi, like many Italian surnames, exhibits regional variations in spelling and pronunciation. Genealogical research is often required to trace the specific origins of a family bearing this surname.
