ORSILLI | ORSILLO

Orsilli seems almost unique, Orsillo and typically from Campania, from Benevento, in particular from Reino and Pago Veiano, but present however, as well as in the province, also in Sessa Aurunca in the Caserta area, it should be a hypocoristic dialectal form of the medieval name Orso derived from the Latin name Ursus.
