Erre, typically Sardinian, from Sassari and Gallura, should derive from a soprannomne originated from the Sardinian word erre, in turn derived from the Latin verres, with the meaning of boar or breeding pig, perhaps indicating in the progenitor a pig farmer. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas ERRE: verre, berre, su èrre, su vèrru. In northern Sardinia it is the pig or even the wild boar: here in Campidano it is called su porcu or su sirboni. Montiferro or Montiverro or Montiverru: Curadoria of: it was an administrative district of the judicial kingdom of Torres, which had as its capital Gurulis Nova, now Cuglieri.
