Vernocchi

Vernocchi is an Italian surname, primarily found in the Marche region of central Italy, particularly in the province of Pesaro and Urbino. The name's etymology is likely derived from a geographical or topographical feature. Speculation suggests a possible connection to a place name incorporating "verno" (winter) or "verna" (alder tree), potentially referring to a place characterized by winter conditions or abundant alder trees. Further research into regional dialects and historical records would be required to pinpoint the precise origin and meaning. The distribution of the surname is relatively localized, suggesting the family likely originated from a specific area within the Marche region.
