RAGAINI

Ragaini is specific to brands, with a stump in Loreto in Anconetano and one in Fano, Pesaro and Cartoceto in the Pesarese, it should be a contracted form of the italianization of a hypochoristic of the medieval name Ragacius (see BOYS), but it is also possible A derivation from a nickname originated from the term Romagna Ragajo (the Stanga where the ropes were attacked in the ox-drawn wagons, located in the back of the wagon), perhaps to indicate in the founder a transporter that uses that type of wagons.
