CABIB | CABIBBE | CABIBBO | CABIBI

Cabib, absolutely rare, would appear to be from the Tuscan coastal area, Cabibbe has a secondary stock in Milan, Cabibbo has a stock in Ragusa, Comiso, Vittoria and Santa Croce Camerina in the Ragusa area, and a secondary one in Rome, Cabibi would seem specific to Lucca Sicula Agrigento. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi The origin of these surnames is to be found in the medieval name Cabibbe or Cabibbo, the Italianization of the Arab or Hebrew personal Habib, which can be translated as love or loved (often meant in a religious sense): for the precision, however, it should be noted that the peninsular strains, mostly represented by the Cabibbe or Cabib families, should have Jewish origins (specifically Sephardic), while the Sicilian stocks, mostly represented by the Cabibi and Cabibbo families, should be of Arab origin . As far as the surnames in question are concerned, therefore, these are the surnames of the personal names of the founders.
