FATUZZO

Fatuzzo, typically Sicilian, has a lineage in Ragusa in Vittoria, Chiaramonte Gulfi, Modica and Comisao, and one in Caltagirone in the Catania area, it should derive from a dialectal nickname originated from a hypocoristic of the Sicilian term fata (butterfly, but also sorceress), perhaps emphasizing a behavioral characteristic of the progenitor.
