Forteguerra, practically unique, is most likely due to an error in the transcription of the surname Fortiguerra, which, typically southern, should derive from the medieval name Fortisguerra (with the meaning of wish that it can be valiant in the fighting), a name that we find for example to early twelfth century in a deed of donation of 1118 in Montalcino that mentions as beneficiary of the proceeds of a transaction Fortisguerra, brother of Bernardo degli Ardengheschi.
