From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(Italian) One who was a member of an abbot's entourage.

Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith

User-submitted Reference

  • Italian: from abate 'priest' (from Late Latin abbas 'priest', genitive abbatis). The application is uncertain: it could be a nickname, an occupational name for the servant of a priest, or denote an (illegitimate) son of a priest.
  • Jewish (from Italy): either a name indicating descent from a high priest, a calque on Hebrew Cohen, or an occupational name for a rabbi.
