Morretta has a stock in the Salerno area at Montecorvino Rovella, Bellizzi and Battipaglia and one in Caltagirone in the Catania area, the etymological origin of the surname should be traced back to a place name identified by the term morrum (high ground) of Oscan origin, the hypocoristic form does think that the family or at least the progenitor came from a place characterized by the fact of being on a small hill, it is necessary to mention, even if unlikely a possible derivation from a nickname originated from the archaic term morretta (sort of cloak buttoned on the front).
