LONGAVITA | LUNGAVITA

Both Longavita and Lungavita, almost unique, probably from central-southern Italy, should derive from a medieval auspicious name that wished their son a long life, we find in the XIIIth century in the Sienese a Longavita notary, in Nocera, in 1600 we find a Long Life of Landowner doctors.
