GABALDI | GABALDO | GAVALDO | GAVAUDO

Gabaldi, absolutely rare, has small stocks in the Turin area, in the north of Milan and Varese and in the Rovigoto, Gabaldo, very rare, has a lineage between Verona and Padua, particularly in Santa Margherita d'Adige, Ospedaletto Euganeo and Montagnana in Padua and Verona. , and one in Bologna, at Castel Guelfo in Bologna and Medicina, Gavaldo, very rare, it would seem of the Savona and Imperia area, Gavaudo is practically unique, should derive from the medieval name of Franche Gabaldus origins that we find in Arles in Provence, among the Templars in departure for the Crusades in 1175, where there is a certain Bertrandus Gabaldus, a name derived in turn from the Germanic name Wadbald, composed of wad (commitment) and bald (audacious), with the meaning of determined in boldness, but it is also possible that these surnames can derive from the French medieval name Gabaud, or from the medieval Germanic name Wadivald, composed of wadi (commitment) and waldan (government, government), with the meaning of the one who governs with commitment, which is also the origin of the name Gabaud, a last hypothesis proposes instead a derivation of these surnames from ethnic forms originated from the name of the Gallic people of the Gabalis settled in the Languedoc. additions provided by Giovanni Vezzelli Gabaldo is a Venetian surname. According to Olivieri 160 it derives from the Germanic staff Gabuard, Förstemann 562.
