AGNELLI | AGNELLO | AGNELLUTI | AGNELLUTTI

In medieval times Agnello was a widespread name, especially in central and northern Italy, from the proper name to the surname the step was short. There is also a hypothesis which proposes the surname as deriving from the adjective lamb, understood as mild as a lamb, therefore of a timid and condescending nature.
