Marchini

Marchini is a surname of Italian origin. It is a patronymic or family name derived from the given name "Marchino," which itself is a diminutive form of "Marco," the Italian equivalent of "Mark." The suffix "-ini" indicates "little" or "son of," thus "Marchini" literally means "little Marco" or "son of Marco."

The surname is found primarily in Italy, with concentrations in specific regions, reflecting historical migration patterns and population distributions. Like many Italian surnames, its distribution varies geographically, with different branches of families adopting and spreading the name over time.

Variations of the surname, such as Marchino, Marchionni, and Marcozzi, also exist and share a common origin.

The name likely originated during the medieval period when surnames began to be widely adopted as a means of identifying individuals within a growing population.
