Soldini

Soldini is an Italian surname. It is most commonly found in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. The name is believed to be derived from a medieval occupation, likely associated with a soldier (soldato in Italian). A possible meaning is someone who worked as a mercenary or was associated with soldiers, or perhaps someone who was paid a "soldo" (a type of coin) for their services. The etymology remains debated amongst scholars.

The surname, like many others, has variations in spelling and may appear as Soldano or Soldanini in some instances, though these are less frequent. Historical records show families bearing the Soldini name residing in areas around Lake Como and the surrounding mountains.
