Cacciottoli has a very small stock in Naples and in Naples and an equally small one in Eboli in the Salerno area, Cacciottolo, absolutely rare, is typically from Campania, has presences in the Neapolitan dialect and a strain at Eboli and Battipaglia in Salerno, Cacciuottolo, the most widespread of the three, it is specific to Naples, Pozzuoli and Torre del Greco in the Neapolitan dialect, these surnames are very ancient and seem to date back to the sixth century, we remember the holy hermit, Benedictine father, and abbot of the monastery of the city of Sorrento, Antonino Cacciottolo. The origin of this surname should be from nicknames based on the ancient Greek word ???????? kaccùtes (see CACCIUTTO), or even from a hypocoristic alteration of the late Latin cognomen Catellus (little dog) which through various alterations should be transformed into Caciottellus and then into Caciottolus.
