The surname Borgonovi was first found in Lombardy (Italian: Lombardia), where the family originated, though they branched to other parts of Italy later on. Spelling variations of the name which end in "i" are generally of the branches of the family which remained in the north, whereas the branches that moved to the south changed their name to Borgonovo, to conform to the naming conventions obeyed in the south. The name originally came from Borgonuovo, a place in Lombardy, where the family once lived. The fact that they took the name of their homeland as their family name may have indicated that they held considerable power in the area, or it may have been given to them after they moved to a new place, to indicate where they had come from.
