GAREFFA | GAREFFI | GARREFFA | GARREFFI

Extremely rare Gareffa, certainly Calabrian from Reggio, it also has a presence in the Cosenza area, it should be an incorrect transcription of the surname Garreffa, which is typically Calabrian, with a stock in the Reggio area, Locri, Molochio, Bovalino, Benestare, Gerace, Taurianova , Platì and Antonima and a small stock also in Praia a Mare in the Cosenza area, Gareffi and Garreffi, practically unique, should be an altered form of the previous one, should derive from the Italianization of the biblical name Hareph, of the tribe of Judah and son of Caleb, name that means winter, according to another hypothesis they would derive instead from nicknames based on the Calabrese dialectal word garrifa (wild oats).
