Very rare, it is typical of the south, with strains in Molise, Puglia, Campania and Lazio. Additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi on the origin of the surname Ruta could converge at least two hypotheses, both probably attributable to a person name. Firstly, it must be said that the term Ruta indicates a small plant that, in Italy, grows more spontaneous (except in the islands, where it is cultivated instead); It is a highly aromatic plant, which in popular medicine was often used for its therapeutic properties (among its different uses, for example, the Ruta was also employed against poisons and the plague). These qualities, from an onomastic point of view, are probably at the base of the medieval name Ruta, attributed to the newborn or the newborn in an affective or auspicious sense (as well as the names Rosa, Margherita, Viola, Giacinto, etc., also born in the Middle Ages); Alternatively, you can also think of a nickname or a trade name associated with the use of the Ruta. A second hypothesis, however, brings the surname Ruta to the Hebrew name Ruth, through its italianization (in this sense, on the other hand, the name Ruta is used as a variant of Ruth also outside of Italy); From the etymological point of view, Jewish staff Ruth (made known by Ruth of the Old Testament) is translated more often as a friend, although some believe it means vision of beauty. In any way, therefore, the surname Ruta should derive either from the personal names of the ancestor or from nicknames or trade names attributed to them.
