SOPRANNOMI  - IN USO FRA 
LE FAMIGLIE DI ASIAGO
| Following is a list of 
		some of the soprannomi from the Families of Asiago. Family nicknames (soprannomi) in 
		the Cimbra dialect served to distinguish one family from another. These 
		nicknames go back a long way and then pass to the whole family. The 
		Asiago area is close to Austria; therefore, many of the names are 
		Germanic in origin. This list was provided by: C. D. Bonomo of Asiago - Piazza Carli 11 - 36012 - Asiago - Telefono 62150 | ||

COGNOME-SOPRANNOME
| In Asiago, as elsewhere in Italia, the same families remained in the 
		same towns for generations, resulting in very large extended families. 
		Soprannomi distinguished one branch of the family from another, and/or 
		one individual from another with the same name. “Soprannomi” in Italian means “above the name” and refers to dialect nicknames. Another very good reason for the use of nicknames comes from the “rigor of most Italian naming traditions”. The first-born son is to be named after his paternal grandfather, and the second-born son is to be named after his maternal grandfather. Likewise, the first-born daughter is to be named after her paternal grandmother, and the second-born daughter is to be named after her maternal grandmother. The children that follow, “Lord willing”, are to be named after their godparents, not to mention the naming of children after patron saints. It goes without saying that many family members, and community members, end up with the same names. Obviously this leads to tremendous confusion when families and communities are gathered and talking to and about one another, which occurs frequently. Therefore there is actually a desperate need for nicknames. When it comes to how certain nicknames are chosen for people, there are different sources and reasons. The most common categories that nicknames form out of are: a prominent physical feature, a unique behavioral trait, an interesting habit, an occupation, a place of origin, a favorite food, or a past memorable incident that pertains to the person being nicknamed. |
