BURGHI | BURGIO | BURGO

Burghi is almost unique, perhaps from central Italy, Burgio is typically Sicilian, where it is very widespread throughout the island, particularly in Palermo and Palermo, in the Agrigento, Nisseno, Ragusa, Syracuse and Catania areas, Burgo , decidedly less common, has a stock in the Syracuse area and one in the Catanzaro and Cosenza areas, should derive from the Germanic term burg (village) and probably indicate that the founders came from an agricultural agglomeration, the most probable hypothesis is that they derive from the French archaic surname Burgeos, Burgeoise, and that they have therefore arrived in Sicily with the Angevins, a connection with the Germanic name Burgwin is much less probable.
