Passalacqua Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

A variety of distinguished and remarkable names have emerged from the beautiful and historic Italian region of Tuscany, including the remarkable surname Passalacqua. During the Middle Ages, as populations grew and trips between regions became more frequent, the people of Tuscany, originally known only by one name, found it necessary to adopt a second name to identify themselves and their families. This process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames in Italy began in the tenth and eleventh centuries, but was not completed until the moderna era. The development of Italian hereditary surnames followed general principles and was characterized by first-name derivatives. The patronymic surname, which is derived from the father's given name, was one of the most common name types found in the Tuscany region. This naming system was widely used because it related well to the existing Feudal System and during the Christian era, many people named their children with saints and Biblical figures. The surname Passalacqua would literally mean 'the son of Paci', which is originally of Latin origin and means peace.
