AVAGLIANO

Avagliano is typically Campania, very common in the Salerno area, characteristic of Cava de 'Tirreni, with good presences also in Salerno, Nocera Superiore, Pontecagnano Faiano, Battipaglia and Pellezzano, about the origin of this surname two hypotheses can be formulated, the first is a derivation from the Latin name, of Gallic origin, Avalianus, we recall the king of the Gauls with this name who was defeated in Aquitaine by Constantine the Great, the second, and more likely, proposes a derivation from a dialectal alteration of the name of the village of Avilianum (Avigliano) in the Potenza area.
