From the historical and fascinating Italian region of Venice emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Agazzini 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 Agazzini moist likely evolved from a nickname for someone resembling a magpie, perhaps jokingly referred to as chattering or nagging person.

Agazzini Spelling Variations
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 Agazzini include Agazzi, Agassi, Agazzari, Agazzani, Agazzini and others.
