Etymology of Agazzi

From the historical and fascinating Italian region of Venice emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Agazzi family. Although people were originally known only by a single name, it became necessary for people to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they are characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. The surname Agazzi moist likely evolved from a nickname for someone resembling a magpie, perhaps jokingly referred to as chattering or nagging person.
