FERLINI | FERLINO

Ferlini would seem to be specific to the Bolognese, Imola and Bologna and Argenta in the Ferrara area. Ferlino, on the other hand, would appear to be typical of San Severo in the Foggia area, they should derive from the nickname and then the medieval name Ferlinus. Antonio, known as Ferlinus of Chiavenna, who worked between the end of the 1500s and the beginning of the 1600s, this nickname derived from the ferlino coin derived in turn from the ancient high German feordha (fourth) and which represented a quarter of money, with an etymology therefore similar to the penny. The ferlino or ferling was also a kind of lead coin that was given as a mark to the workers to give them the right to collect the pay, therefore by extension the ferlino nickname could also indicate some unskilled workers or in any case belonging to a low work force.
