Scarani seems to be Bolognese and Milanese, Scarano is widespread in Molise, Campania and Puglia, a hypothesis, quite unlikely, on the derivation of these surnames is that the southern forms derive from a Greek word skarios (shelter, landing, for boats). Traces of this surname are found in Grumo Nevano (NA), where in a script of 1271 you can read: "... Ioannes de Christi, in casali lumps; ', ' Martinus Scaranus, Cesarius Scaranus, Ligorius Scaranus, Ioannes Scaranus, Alius Ioannes Scaranus, Alius Martinus Scaranus, in Villa Grumi;... "; In Capua (CE) in 1527 Cola Scarano was elected governor of the city. Integration and hypothesis provided by Matteo Scarano Scarano is a surname that is located in Bari but also in Salento, in Naples but also in Calabria and Sicily. Derives from the old Italian Scarano that stands for Scherano, as saying a man a little ' brigante, a bit ' banned. A nickname from other times turned into surname is also likely that some of the AVO was really a small brigante.
