PEAN | PEANI | PEANO

Pean is almost unique, Peani, absolutely rare, has little presence in Piedmont and Piacenza and Parma, Peano is very widespread in Piedmont, especially in Cuneo and Cuneo, in Boves, Borgo San Dalmazzo, Beinette, Cervasca and Peveragno, with an almost certainly secindary strain in Turin, they should be of Provençal origin and derive from dialectal alterations of the French medieval term païen, an alteration of the Latin paganus, that is the inhabitant of the pagus (village), which would imply that the progenitors were citizens of a village and not farmers or shepherds, but it should not be overlooked that the term Peanus was also used, although very rarely, in medieval times, simply as a name, as can be seen from a document dated 1145: "..Who donacioni interfuerunt presentes: Alexander videlicet Plocensis episcopus, Johannes et Peanus cancellarii, Odolanus comes, Shebor, Saulus, Disichraus, Zbiluta, Bogomil, Montinus, Bacosclavus comes, Spitignevus and t alii plures. ..
