Information provided by Giacomo Ganza/Villa di Tirano (SO) probably has its origins in the inland municipalities of Chiavarese such as Ne (GE) and Castiglione Chiavarese (GE). In fact, these two municipalities left most of the emigrants who reached New York and probably Argentina or other South American countries. The surname is also present in a limited way even in some other northern region. Could derive from a personal name as stern.
