Zannoni

Zannoni is a relatively uncommon surname of Italian origin. It is derived from the given name "Giovanni," which is the Italian equivalent of "John." The suffix "-oni" is an augmentative, often implying "large," "great," or "son of." Therefore, Zannoni could be interpreted as "son of Giovanni" or "descendant of Giovanni" or simply "Big John's."

The surname is primarily found in northern Italy, particularly in the regions of Emilia-Romagna and Lombardy. Like many Italian surnames, variations in spelling may exist, though Zannoni is the most common form.

Historically, families bearing the name Zannoni were typically of modest means and were agricultural workers or artisans. There are no widely known figures of significant historical prominence associated solely with the surname Zannoni. The presence of individuals with the Zannoni surname can be traced through Italian genealogical records and civic documentation.
