FERSINI | FERSINO

Fersini is specific of the Lecce area, in particular of Castro and Gagliano del Capo, with excellent presences also in Alliste, Collepasso, Tricase, Matino, Presicce, Castrignano del Capo and Lecce, and in Brindisi, Fersino, decidedly less widespread, is also Salento, from Castrignano del Capo in the Lecce area, should derive from a dialectal modification of the Latin cognomen Felsinus, of which we have an example of use in the Argonauticon: "... Non secus ac florens pubenti Felsinus ovo, whose céleres ad cuncta pedes oculusque manusque, gestit, et enodes undantis corporis artus in rapidam studet iré pilam, tenerosque sodales provocat, et grato fírmat suo robora ludo ... ", we find traces of these surnames in Melpignano, always in Lecce, in the pastoral visit of 1522, where he comes quoted the deacon Nicola Fersino.
