SCATURRO

Scaturro is decidedly Sicilian, of the western part of the island, with maximum concentration in the Agrigentino in Santa Margherita di Belice, Ribera, Sciacca and Menfi, in Palermo, Giuliana and Bisacquino, and in Trapani, Salemi, Mazara del Vallo, Castelvetrano, Marsala and Erice, could derive from a dialectal alteration of the Latin cognomen Scaurus, but, much more probably derives from a nickname originated from a dialectal alteration of the Arabic term qhandurha (robe, camiciotto), perhaps Because the founder was a craft.
