Meaning & History

Most likely derived from the Norman family de Moulins of Moulins-la-Marche. Rodolphe de Moulins, forefather of the family, became count of Bojano in 1053, which would go on to form the County of Molise.

This is the name of a region in southern Italy, as well as a municipality in said region.
