Additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi The origin of these surnames, in fact, should be sought in the medieval green name, i.e. the italianization of Germanic staff Bert, with the literal meaning of shining and, broadly, illustrious (it is a Variant of the name Berto): From the etymological point of view, the adaptation in Green is influenced by a combination with the green noun, due both to the phenomenon of betacism (substitution of B-with V-) and to the phenomenon of tetacism (substitution of the-t-with-D-). Historically, however, traces of the green name are found in Siena during the 1200, with characters such as Gargonsino Green, widow of Tybalt, green of the Fu Guido di Petrignori and Verde, wife of Bifolco of Bandino. As for the last names in question, therefore, these are the cognominizations of the personal name of the parent, although in some cases is not excluded a derivation from nicknames attributed to them (in connection with the color green). Additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Verde is one of the few color names of Latin origin. In fact it comes from Lat. ' Viride (M) ' in its popular outcome ' Virdem '.
