BEDONI

Widespread throughout the north, but with great prevalence in Lombardy and Veneto and in the province of Milan in particular, we also find it in the center with a good presence in Lazio. This surname could derive from a dialectal term derived from the Franco betun (mud), it could also in some cases be derived from the "Ligurian" toponym Bedonia (PR), as it could also have originated from a nickname derived from a French Bedon (fat) . additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Bedoni is a surname of patronymic origin, motivated by the medieval name Beldonum «bel dono», applied to the newborn who came to cheer the house.
