Additions provided by Stefano Ferrazzi on the origin of this surname converge at least two hypotheses, which, summed up to each other, justify the high diffusion in the Sicilian territory. Firstly, a connection with the name Sutera, in the province of Caltanissetta (should be a predial name), is quite probable. On the other hand, it must be said that in many cases this surname derives directly from the medieval name Sutera (with a variant in Sotera), i.e. the italianization of the Greek staff Soter, which literally means Salvatore (as is clear, it is The equivalent of the Italian name Salvatore): In this context, however, it is important to note that the first Christians used the names Soter and Salvatore as a translation of the name Jesus (for a more thorough explanation of the origin of this name, see the Surname of Jesus). As for the surname Sutera, therefore, it is about the cognominization or the personal names of the ancestor or nicknames attributed to them (in relation to the Sicilian toponym Sutera).
