Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Nigrelli family history? From this historical and fascinating Italian region have emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Nigrelli family. Italian people were originally known only by a single name, but it became necessary to adopt a second name as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The surname Nigrelli is derived from the Italian word "negri" which means "black." It was most likely originally a nickname for someone with a dark complexion, perhaps for an immigrant from northern Africa.Surnames that originated in Italy are characterized by an enormous number of spelling variations. Some of these are derived from regional traditions and dialects. Northern names, for instance, often end in "o", while southern names tend to end in "i". Other variations come from the fact the medieval scribes tended to spell according to the sound of words, rather than any particular set of rules. The recorded variations of Nigrelli include Negri, Negro, Nigri, Nigris, Nigra, Negris, Negrelli, Negrotto, Negrello, Negroni and many more. First found in Ferrara where Carlo Negri di Pietra Santa was a Bishop of the city in 929. Ferrar, a city in Emilia Romagna is the capital of the province of Ferrara.
