ACCOLLA | ACCOLLI

Accolla is typically Sicilian, with a stock in Messina and one more consistent in the Syracuse area in Syracuse, Avola and Augusta, Accolli, practically unique, is probably due to a wrong transcription of the previous one, which should be of Arab origin, and which could derive from the Arabic expression to the kolah (the glass bubble, the ampulla), but Kolah is also a Persian name whose use is also widespread in the Middle East, and it is more likely that this was the name of the progenitor.
