Cavallari Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

The spelling Cavallari grew out of Cavallo, an Italian surname with a long paper trail.

Cavallari is built on the same root as Cavallo, with the ending -ari. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Cavallari, so the heraldry linked to Cavallo is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Cavallari family name pack.
