It comes from the late Latin acètum; in Spanish acèdo, in Portuguese azèdo etc. it is a strange surname, because humiliating, in the proper meaning of the term.

And I went and took it away again and then Mariane de Castavar joined me and said to me: "Leave them together and if they will have children they will be of St. Peter"!
