Panciera

Panciera is an Italian surname. It is believed to be of Venetian origin, likely derived from a place name or occupational term. Sources suggest possible connections to the word "pancia" (meaning "belly" or "paunch"), potentially referencing someone stout or involved in related trades. However, the precise etymology remains debated, and variations in regional dialects could also contribute to the surname's origin. The name is primarily found in the Veneto region of Italy and its diaspora.
