According to the information at tinyurl.com/7eepx28, Annibaldi comes from Hannibal whose meaning is unknown.
Meaning of [[HANNIBAL]] unknown? I think not:

I thought Annibaldi could come from Hannibal since wikipedia seemed to confuse Annibale de Ceccano with Annibald de Ceccano... or something like that but I could not picture where the d comes from... thanks :D
Maybe you think too complicated. You cannot find definitions for every single letter of a name :-)
