Meaning and origin of the Siciliano last name
Meaning of the Siciliano last name: sicilian. Siciliano means "Sicilian", a name for someone who had come from Sicily. A curious detail: because it was given to newcomers rather than to people at home, it is especially common on the mainland, in Calabria, Campania, Apulia and Lazio, and also in Malta. Many Siciliano families later emigrated to the United States, especially to New York and Louisiana.
