User-submitted Reference
Russo is a Sicilian name derived from the Vikings or Rus. Rus (pronounced roos) in Norse means 'he rows' or 'men who row'. The Rus entered the Mediterranean between 800-1000 AD and helped the Sicilians fight the Arab-Byzantine rulers. Two centuries later, under the Norman rule of Sicily, Riccardo, a descendant of King Roger II, was granted the land title of Sperlinga Castle. Riccardo took the surname Russo or Rosso and bestowed to the castle a coat of arms featuring Halley's comet against a red backdrop. To this day, Sicilians will refer to someone with that name Signor Rus.
