NICORA | NICORELLI | NICORI | NICORINI

Nicora is specific to the area that goes from the Verbanese to the La Spezia area, crossing the Varese area, the Milan area, the Pavia area, the Alessandria area and the Piacenza area and the Savona area and the Genoese area, Nicorelli, very rare, is specific to Alessandria and Genoa, Nicori, almost unique, it would seem of Pavia, Nicorini, equally rare, is perhaps Lombard. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi The origin of these surnames is to be found in the medieval name Nicora, which, in all probability, consists of an archaism of the original Nicola - due to the rotacism of the consonant -l- (see Niccolai). Historically, in this regard, the use of the name Nicora is attested since the twelfth century, both in the Diplomatic Code of medieval Lombardy - where a person with this name appears - and in the work Il tardogotico of the Milan Cathedral (by Paolo Sanvito) , in which a certain Nicorino from Vimercate is cited, the expendiser (cashier) of the Fabbrica around the end of the 14th century. In conclusion, therefore, these are the surnames of the personal names of the founders.
