Tassano

Tassano is a surname of Italian origin. It is primarily found in Liguria, particularly in the province of Genoa. The name likely originates from a personal name, potentially derived from a diminutive of "Tasso," which itself is related to the Italian word for "badger." Alternatively, it could be topographical, referencing a place abundant in badgers. Further research into Genoese historical records and genealogy databases would be necessary to trace the earliest documented instances and confirm the etymological origins of the name with greater certainty. Variants of the name may exist, such as Tassone or Tassi.
