Pusceddu is typical of the provinces of Cagliari and Oristano, Puxeddu seems specific to Cagliari and Cagliari with attendance also in Simala (OR) and Villanovaforru (MD), may derive from a modification of the surname Piscedda (see), it is also possible that They derive from a nickname originating from the Sardinian word Piseddu (child), but the most probable hypothesis is that they derive from hypocoristic nicknames derived from the term Campidanese puxi (pulce). Integrations provided by Giuseppe Concas PUSCEDDU; Puxeddu: Puxeddu is the original and therefore the oldest, although, to tell the truth, the presence of the "X" with phonetic value of "voiced palatal fricative", like the "J" French, is present in a single medieval document, in the Carta de Logu (1384) and not in the others. The voices Puxeddu and Pusceddu derive from the Latin pulcellus or pulchellus, in the meaning of a young man of good looks. In the Carta de Logu of Arborea, in chapter XXI, we find the term "Ponxella", in the verb is-ponxella-RIT, which has the meaning of using violence against a virgin girl; Ispunxellar = Remove the virginity. In the Sassaresi statutes, at the chapter III, 31 (91) There is the voice of the sting, always in the meaning of Virgin Girl (IS-puncellare Deverbal = Remove the virginity). The verb esponcellar, in the meaning already indicated, is also present in Catalan. The two variants, Pusceddu and Puxeddu, are recently invoice, and are not found in the ancient documents of the Sardinian language and history. Instead we find Pucellu, among the signatories of the Peace of Eleanor, LPDE, of 1388: Pucellu Pariam, Majore ville Acene. * Acene... Destroyed: Acenis. Contrate Marmille; Pucelu Benedicto, Jurato ville Cerfallio, * Cerfallio... Today's Zerfaliu. Campitani Majoris; Pu © ellu Joanne, Macumerii villas, * * MACUMERII et Curatorie de Gociano... Macomer etc.
