Aquilina Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
From the historical and fascinating Italian region of Venice emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Aquilina family. The people of this region were originally known only by a single name, but it became necessary for them to take on a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. The Aquilina surname evolved from a nickname; these usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The surname Aquilina came from a person who had the sight of an eagle. The surname Aquila is derived from the word aquila, which means eagle. Thus, the surname could also be a name for a spot where eagles were often seen or for an owner of an eagle. The surname Aquila is also of local origin, derived from the city of L'Aquila, which is the capital of the region of Abruzzi in the center/south of the peninsula.
