Tasini Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The Italian surname Tasini (also present in France and Israel) may be the Italian translation of the Hebrew תאזיני, pronounced Thazini. A first clue is the meaning, which for tasini is 'people who listen' (source: the people of its native village in Italy, near Bologna, named Poggetto). In Hebrew תאזיני (Thazini) means 'listen', 'will listen'. Jonathan Tasini, the famous American and Israeli intellectual bears this surname, and its Hebrew version is exactly תאזיני. Moreover Tasini is present in only two limited areas in Italy, north of Bologna/south of Ferrara and around Pesaro/Rimini/Ancona; areas where a number of Jewish/Converso/Bnei Anusim might have settled in the late 1500s or early 1600s.

Tasini is simply a literal translation in roman alphabet of a word in Hebrew, meaning 'people who listen'. The families bearing this surname in Israel come from Poland, not Italy. Regarding the Italian branch of the surname, despite oral history claiming that the underlying meaning is the same/very similar, there is no conclusive proof of any connection between the Italian Tasini and the Israeli one. The real root of the Italian surname Tasini is still not clear.
