Manfreda has a lineage in the Potentino area in Rionero in Vulture and Picerno, one in Salento in Monteroni di Lecce, Lecce, Arnesano and Alliste in Lecce and Brindisi, and one in Calabria in Mesoraca, Petilia Policastro and Cutro in Crotone and Simeri Crichi in Catanzaro, Manfredella, practically unique, should be due to a wrong transcription of the surname Manfredelli, which is typically Lucanian, of Lauria in particular, with small stocks also in Nemoli and Rivello, all in the Potentino, Manfrida, absolutely rare, would seem typical of of Reggio and of south-eastern Sicily, Manfredi is very widespread and Panitalian, Manfridi would seem very rare from Puglia, Manfredini is typically Emilian, but with strains also in eastern Lombardy, Manfredo has a small strain in Vercelli and one in Udine, all derive directly or through various hypocoristic forms, from the Germanic name Manifred which became in the Middle Ages Manifredus then Manfredo and Manfredi. In an act of the Lombard Diplomatic Code of 1100 we read: "... Interfuerunt ibi voces testes Guilielmus de Muro de Henduno et Ubertus et Manifatmant Arnulfi de Busti et Azo domini Imblavadi et Rainerius et Azinus domini Ioannis de Daverio.".
