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.
- amazintangerineThis surname means 'red (color)', referring to the typical red color of the hair or to some element of this color near the home of the family. It was already present in the form of a qualifying adjective to Rome in the imperial age as Rubius and Rossius and later spread from the Middle Ages to today with a large number of variants. We find this surname in Puglia, and precisely in Monopoli, in a deed of sale of the second half of the sixteenth century.
- albyThe surname "Rossi" derives from the late Latin word Russus or Rubeus, now rosso in modern italian, which means "red". The color red, in the surname, describes atrributes like red hair, a red beard or a lightly red skin tone.
