A surname typical of south-western Sardinia, it may derive from the Sardinian dialect word on cabòni (the rooster). In 1700 we find a master Antonio Caboni of Oristano in charge of the building of the bell tower of the church of Santa Maria Maddalena in Uras (OR) additions provided by Giuseppe Concas CABONI: from the Italian cappone (gallo castrato), but in Sardinian it means non castrated cock. Caboniscu is the cockerel. Comes from the Latin caponis. Su cabòni de mari is a fish of the scorpène (capon) family. Su cabòni de murdegu = cyst capon is the woodcock. Caboni or caboniscu campidanese is synonymous with puddu, Logudorese. We find it in ancient papers, with various outputs. Among the signatories of the Peace of Eleonora are: Capoi Thomeo, jurato (security guard, collaborator of the mayor) ville Goçula (* destroyed. Goçuna: Partis de Montibus); Capone Furatu, jurato Silano villas (* .distrutto - Curatorie de Marghine de Gociano.

(* today's Meana - Mandrolisay or Barbagia di Belvì). In history we remember Caboni Stanislao (Cagliari 1795 - 1880), judge of the Royal Audience; first president of the Court of Appeal of Milan. With a Jacobin spirit, he was a friend of D'Azeglio, Manzoni and above all Vincenzo Gioberti.
