ArchivesRe: Nery
in reply to a message by Lumia
This is all fascinating!
In the case of St. Philip Neri, Neri is an Italian surname, which is a variation of Negri, meaning "black".
Do you know the derivation of Ana Neri's surname? Was she also of Italian ancestry?

The surname was her husband's surname (she was named Ana Justina Ferreira). I didn't find the genealogy of Néri family at Brazil, but it seems a no-unusual surname; since there was a big migration of Italians in South America (specially Arentina and Uruguay) it is not odd at all that Isidoro Antônio Néri (her husband) was of Italian ancestry. But I really can't assure that.
