In comparison with other European surnames, Italian surnames have a surprising number of forms. They reflect the regional variations and the many dialects of the Italian language, each with its own distinctive features. For example, in Northern Italy the typical Italian surname suffix is "i", whereas in Southern Italy it is "o". Additionally, spelling changes frequently occurred because medieval scribes and church officials often spelled names as they sounded rather than according to any specific spelling rules. The spelling variations in the name Meranda include Morana, Morano, Morani, Morandi, Morando, Moranda, Morandini, Morandin and many more.

First found in Modena, a prosperous city at this early time. Records show that Bernardino Morano was a lawyer for the Commune of Modena in 1170.
