Origins Available: Italian, Spanish Where did the Italian Abadie family come from? What is the Italian Abadie family crest and coat of arms? When did the Abadie family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Abadie family history? Italian surnames come in far more variations than the names of most other nationalities. Regional traditions and dialects are a decisive factor in this characteristic. For example, northern names tend to end in "o", while southern in "i". Also important, but not unique to Italy, was the fact that before dictionaries and the printing press most scribes simply spelled words according to their sounds. The predictable result was an enormous number of spelling variations. The recorded spellings of Abadie include Abbadessa, Abadéssa, La Badessa, Labadessa, Abaddessa, Abbadesa, Abbaddessa, Abaddessa, Aberdessa, Abadassa, Abbadessi and many more. First found in Sicilia or Sicily an island in the Mediterranean, a part of Italy. The original inhabitants were Sicels. The Greeks colonized in 735 B.C. Phoenician settlements began in 6th century. Carthaginians arrived 410. Romans arrived, then the Saracens. Then the Norman Conquest said to be Sicily's brightest hour, 1057 A.D and taking 35 years. They made Sicilians the leading Maritimes power in the Mediterranean, and King Roger of Sicily one of the greatest Kings in Europe. From Sicily they invaded Greece. In those ancient times only persons of rank, the podesta, clergy, city officials, army officers, artists, landowners were entered into the records. To be recorded at this time, at the beginning of recorded history, was of itself a great distinction and indicative of noble ancestry. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Abadie research.
