Help[Surname] Re: Mattero?
in reply to a message by starxcrossed
This surname is rather unique on italian telephone directory.
It comes from the area of Naples: the FLEGREE ISLANDS, according to Ellis Island site from SERRARA-FONTANA, a municipality of ISCHIA ISLAND.
The meaning from this surname is not sure: from a name of place?
from the italian given name MATTEO (matthew)? or just from an old nickname?
There are still some MATERO families in USA, especially in North-Eastern states.
See also the Italian surname MATTERI in Lombardy, Northern Italy.
See the Italian White Pages: www.paginebianche.it
write the surname and "NA" that stands for NAPLES province

Well, the North Eastern states part is true, since it is my family's last name and we all reside in Massachusetts-Rhode Island area. My great-great grandparents arrived on Ellis Island as well. Thanks for the link, I'll deffinately check it out! =]
