Where did the Italian Debarba family come from? What is the Italian Debarba family crest and coat of arms? When did the Debarba family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Debarba family history? The population of Italy increased dramatically in the 10th and 11th centuries, and people began to travel and meet others with the same names. This confusion caused problems in personal and legal matters, and many took on hereditary surnames as a solution. These new names often came from words that identified people by a physical characteristic or other obvious trait. Debarba was a nickname surname for a bearded person, derived from the words Barba and bella, which together mean beautiful beard.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 Debarba include Barbi, Barbis, Della Barba, Barbella, Barbetta, Barbetti, Barbini, Barbin, Barbolini, Barbucci, Barbuzzi, Barboccia, Barbozza, Barbone, Barboni, Barbacci, Barbasio, Barbato, Barbuto, Barboso, Barbisio, Barbisini, Barbisan, De Barba, Del Barba, Barbano, Barbana, Barbani, Barban, Barbanelli, Barbanotti, Barbanti, Barbantini and many more. First found in Milan where the earliest records date back to 1145 with Filippo Barbo, a castle owner and leader of the town of Cremona.
