IURESCIA | JURESCIA

Iurescia is specific to the province of Campobasso, to Tavenna in particular, with significant presences also in Petacciato and Termoli, Jurescia is practically unique. additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi Of Slavic origin, the surnames Iurescia and Jurescia are born from an Italianization of the Slavic name Juresa, which, composed of the root Jure (the Italian Giorgio) and the suffix -esa (with hypochoristic or accretive value), it can be translated with the name Giorgino or with the augmentative Giorgione (see Giorgetta and Giorgione). In conclusion, therefore, it is a question of the surnames of the progenitor's personal name, even if, in hindsight, it is not excluded that Iurescia and Jurescia have a matronymic value (due to the exit in -a).
