PIRAINO | PIRAJNO

Piraino is typical of the Sicilian Calabrian area, Pirajno, very rare, it would seem specific of Palermo, should derive from the toponym Piraino (ME) or also from nicknames originated from localities characterized by the presence of wild pear trees with the dialect word pirajno that identifies them.
