CAMASTRA | CAMASTRO

Camastra has a stock in the Bari area at Grumo Appula, Castellana Grotte and Altamura, one in the Catanzaro area at Botricello, Vallefiorita and Stalettì, and one in Palermo, Camastro has a stock in Sora in Frusinate and Rome, with rare presence in the south, relative to these surnames exist at least two hypotheses, the first is that they derive from the Phoenician name Kamastart, the name also of a deity, the second proposes a derivation from a nickname based on the dialectal term camastra, camastro (the chain to which paolioli are hung in the hearth) , in turn derived from the ancient Greek verb ??????? kremaso (hang).
