GAUDIANI | GAUDIANO

Gaudiani is due to errors in transcription of Gaudiano, which would seem typically Lucanian from Matera, with stocks also in Campania in Santa Maria La Fossa, Macerata Campania and Santa Maria Capua Vetere in the Caserta area, and Pagani, Albanella and Salerno in the Salerno area, and a stock also in Foggia, they should derive from the toponym Gaudiano di Lavello in the area of Potenza, but it is also possible that they derive directly from the name Gaudianus often carried by the freedmen of a Gaudius, a name of which we have an example in a 1231 registration of the imperial tribunal of Federico di Svevia : "... Imperial complainants Curie Gaudiano quondam servant Guillelmi de Limata de Caserta, quod ipso Guillelmus to Domino Brictono et Benedicto fratre eius, filiis Domini Thomasii de Piczuto ...".
