Calvia is typically Sardinian from Sassari, Alghero, Sassari, Ittiri, Porto Torres and Mores, with a stock also in Berchidda in Gallura. additions provided by Giuseppe Concas CALVIA: o Carbia: name of an ancient and mythical city, presumably founded in the Phoenician period, around the VIIIth - VIIth century BC Cr. it reached its maximum splendor in the Roman period. Whose remains, currently the subject of archaeological excavations, on behalf of the Superintendencies of Sassari and Nuoro, are located near Alghero, near the necropolis of Monti Carru. In the medieval period it was "villa" (bidda - inhabited center) belonging to the Curadorìa of Nulàuro, of the Giudicato kingdom of Torres, and it was a private possession of the Doria until 1272, but after the end of the Turritano kingdom, in the last years of the XIIIth century , it was abandoned: no we still know the causes of its abandonment! The etymology of Carbia is still obscure; according to some pre-Roman experts. The canonical Spano derives it from the Phoenician Kar-bia = city of pleasure. We have nothing to add in this regard. As a surname, always preceded by "de", to indicate the origin, we find it in the ancient documents of the Sardinian language. Among the signatories of the Peace of Eleonora, * LPDE of 1388, are: Carbia (de) Agustino, majore (administrator, mayor) ville Setini (* today's Sedini. Contrate de Anglona - Chiaramonte); Carbia (de) Anthonio, Gurrutta villas (* today's Borutta (Meylogu). Contrate de Ardar et Meylogu); Carbia (de) Comita, Semestene villas (* today's Semestene. Curatorias of Costa de Valls; Carbia (de) Joanne, Semestene villas; Carbia (de) Leonardo, jurato (security guard, collaborator of the majore) Seneghe villas (* today Seneghe- Contrate Partis de Milis), Carbia (de) Petro, jurato villas Orani, Carbia (de) Petrus, villas Sasseri, Carbia (de) Santoro, jurato villas Ardar (* today's Seneghe (Contrate Partis de Milis), Carbia Franciscus, villas Sasseri ; Carbia (de) Barçolo, Setini villas, Carbia (de) Francisco, Gocille villas (* Destroyed village - Curatorie de Anella), Carbia (de) Guantino, ville Burgi (* today's Burgos, founded by Mariano IV, father of Eleonora - Curatorie de Anella); Carbia (de) Joanne, jurato ville Cossein (* today's Cossoine. Contrate Caputabas). In the Condaghe of San Pietro di Silki, * CSPS, XIth, XIIIth century we find: Carbia (de) Ithoccor and Carbia (de), Thippari (79 - it is probably two brothers, which we find in chapters 100 and 107 with the variant de Carvia), in a lite (kertu) for the possession of servants. Carbia (de) Janne, kertu de ancilla (80 - in a dispute for the possession of a servant). Carbia (de) Petru, kertu de servis (111 - always in a dispute for the possession of servants). Also with the variant de Carvia we find: Carvia (de) Dorgotori (130 -postura = donation); Carvia (de) Comita (107- kertu de servis). In the Condaghe of San Nicola di Trullas, * CSNT, 11th, 13th centuries, we find the surname in the two variants de Carbia and de Carvia, referring to the same people. Carbia or Carvia (de) Barusone, son of Furatu, brother of Comita and Pietro and of Furata and Mariane (sos de Carvia), in a sale of land in Balle (valley) de Mela and in Sorcariu (two locations just south west of the inhabited center of Semestene - inhabited center of 227 inhabitants - prov. Sassari - Meilogu - belonging to the ancient Curadorìa Costavalle or Costa de Valls). There is no doubt that this is a lineage of ancient Sardinian nobility. Sos de Carbia or Carvia cited in the Condaghe, as well as being landowners, also had important positions in the judicial realm of Torres: Mariane de Carbia (117) was maiore de scolca, that is head of the armed guard of border surveillance; Gosantine de Carbia (32) was the husband of Elene de Thori (the de Thori were one of the most powerful families in Giudicale Sardinia); Mariane de Carbia (different from the previous one) was armentariu de rennu (general administrator of the giudicato), etc. Currently the surname Calvia is present in 62 Italian Municipalities, of which 34 in Sardinia: Alghero 62, Sassari 41, Berchidda30, Ittiri 29, P. Torres 27, Mores 23, Oniferi 17, Torralba 13, etc. As you can see the greater diffusion of the surname is recorded in the Alghero - Sassari area as in ancient times. On the mythical city of Carbia, perhaps one of the first true cities of ancient Sardinia, we should wait for the results of the excavations still in progress. To learn more: visit the site - Carbia ancient city - Carbia the memory of Alghero in the archaeological museum etc.
