Serafini

Serafini is an Italian surname. It is a patronymic surname, derived from the given name Serafino, which itself comes from the Hebrew word "seraphim," meaning "fiery ones" or "burning ones." In religious contexts, seraphim are a type of angel, the highest in the hierarchy, known for their purity and proximity to God.

The surname Serafini, therefore, signifies "son of Serafino" or "descendant of Serafino." Like many surnames, variations in spelling can occur, such as Seraphini, Seraphin, and Sarafini.

The name is found primarily in Italy, but individuals with the surname Serafini and its variations have emigrated to other countries, including the United States, Argentina, and Brazil.
