Carpenito Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The southern Italian name Carpenito could have two origins. First, it could have come from a tree called Carpen in Latin, Carpine in Italian, and Hornbeam in English.This indicates that the first person with this last name lived close to a hornbeam tree or in an area where they grew. Henceforth, Carpenito may mean "one who dwells under the hornbeam tree."

The second possible origin is from the Latin word Carpentum, which was a cart that Sicilian families rode in on special occasions. Another phrase to describe these carts was Carretto siciliano, a hand-decorated Sicilian cart. Carpenito could have been a nickname used to describe one who had the best or worst decorated cart, or to describe one who built and/or fixed the carts.
