FILANINO | FILANNINO

Filanino, almost unique, should be due to a transcription error by Filannino, which is specific to Barletta in the Bari area, where it is widespread, it could be a hypocoristic form of the Italianization of the Carthaginian name Filenos or the Greek equivalent Filannos, name probably brought by the founder.
