Help[Surname] Re: DelTufo ...meaning of this Italian name
in reply to a message by Sagani
I just checked this book : "Our Italian Surnames," by Joseph G. Fucilla, published 1949, reprinted 1987. Page 239 does not define Del TUFO, but in a discussion of the anglicization of Italian surnames, the author states (without providing his source): "Here belongs the strange transformation of Del Tufo into Dell." He treats the mineral name TUFO on page 98.
