Satta is a decidedly Sardinian surname, widespread throughout the island, should derive from the Sardinian word Logudorese S'atta (the thread of the knife or axe, the tip of the sword), this hypothesis would lead some to support a link with the Nordic pirates who They carried out raids in Sardinia. Integrations provided by Giuseppe Concas SATTA: The meaning and etymology of the SATTA voice remain uncertainties. It's probably a corrupt term. It could derive from the union of name with article, like for example "on Arritzu" it gave the surname "Sarritzu". The Voice attsa o Atza in Campidanese, atta in Logudorese means thread of the knife, but Homini de Atza in camp. Homini de Atta in log. It means daring man, courageous (see Atza surname). In the union with the article you have the Atta, > Satta (in log.). And it is in the upper Sardinia, that is in the ancient Logudoro, which is more widespread the surname "Satta". So it should indicate, if our considerations are right, the character of the person: daring and courageous. We have no other suggestions!
