ARONICA

Originally from the Agrigento area, it may derive from the Germanic name Aronius, traces of which can be found as early as the 8th century with a monk named Aronius, probably of Jewish origin (a name deriving from the Judaic Avonne). additions provided by Giovanni Aronica: The surname Aronica, more likely, is of Greek origin formed by the fusion of two words of the ancient Greek: aro = bearer or bearer; and nikos-nike = victory - of victory; giving rise to aro-nicas = bearer of victory. According to some Spanish researchers, Aronica derives from the Basque arru or arro which means rock, combined with nika which means round so Arronika would indicate the origin from an area characterized by round rocks. The Aronics of Sicily lined up alongside the reigning house of Spain, obtaining the noble title of Baroni with the relative coat of arms.
