Meaning and origin of the Pira last name
Meaning of the Pira last name: a pear tree or a Sardinian woodpile expression. Pira has Italian explanations from a southern word for pear or pear tree. Sardinian usage can instead involve a woodpile, as a nickname or occupational reference. Other language routes are independent. The last name therefore cannot establish one ancestral orchard, wood-related trade or country for every bearer of this spelling.
