[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: NETTO Surname
David and group, I check my database on Portuguese Names and Their Meaning and found the following on the name Neto and Netto. I hope this helps Eugenia Netto - Neto (Netto) - is a family name of an early Portuguese immigrant in California. Information is from: Carlos Almeida, PORTUGUESE IMMIGRANTS, Published by: The Supreme Council of U.P.E.C., San Leandro, CA,1978, page 269. --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ To unsubscribe from this group, send email to azores-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com.

[AZORES-Genealogy] Re: NETTO Surname
Hello David All that has been said about the the Netto (Neto) is true. However, In S. Miguel, according to Carlos Machado, the name dates back to at least the mid 1500's as a surname in the person of Briolanja Netto, daughter of the Joao Alves Netto, "juiz do mar" in Angra at the time of her marriage and according to Mr. Guill there is even a family armorial for that surname, indicating an even earlier origin. Just my two cents worth. Hope that helps.

"Neto" means grandson and would be appended to the "real" surname (example: Manuel Silva Neto would be the grandson of Manuel Silva). The son of Manuel Silva may have been known as Manuel Silva Filho (filho means son). Sometimes the Alcunha sticks, becomes the surname and the "real" surname is dropped. All that being said, I would venture to say that if you traced your gggrandmother's line back a few more generations you would find a case similar to what I have described. Furthermore, these situations happen on all the islands so that it is probably not likely that you could really confirm the island of origin of the Neto surname.good luck,John vasconcelos On Mon, Jan 19, 2009 at 7:45 PM, Kawika322 wrote: I was wondering if anyone knew where the NETTO surname comes from inthe Azores.
