La Falce has a Roman stock, a small one in Buccino in the Salerno area, one in the Cosenza area of Castrovillari and Terranova da Sibari and some presences between Messina and Catania, should derive from a nickname originating from the job of the founders, probably seen as peasants in the act of mow the grass in the fields, but a toponymic derivation is not excluded.
