The name comes from the Jewish word "Pesah" that has become "Paschalis" in Latin language and it means transition, crossing. It refers to the escape of Jewish people from Egypt (the Red Sea Crossing). Nicola

Hello listers, does anybody know where I can find informations and photos about the New Orleans immigration center, where many Italian immigrants went thru between the end of 1800' and the beginning of 1900's? I'll wait for an answer. Thanks in advance. Riccardo

This is but a short description of the name "Guarino" taken from the "Dizionario Dei Cognomi Italiani", by Emidio De Felice. The name has many different forms and has variants in France. But according to the "Dictionary of Italian Surnames" it is originally Italian. "Guarino. Varianti: Guarini, Guerino e Guerini, Garin, Varini e Varin. Alterati: Guariniello, Guarinoni. // Diffuso in tutta l'Italia, ma frequente solo nel Sud, e spec, nel Napoletano (dove e specifico Guariniello), nella forma Guarino; Guarino. Varying: Guarini, Guerino and Guerini, Garin, Varini and Varin. Altered: Guariniello, Guarinoni. / / Diffused in the whole Italy, but frequent only in the South and spec, in the Neapolitan (where and specific Guariniello), in the form Guarino; " The paragraph on this Surname is longer than what I have provided and also give variants with "W".

Interesting. Would you care to tell us why? Is it like the old question of which came first, the chicken or the egg. Unless you have some reliable reference you can site about the origin of this surname, how can you make this statememt ;-) Freddie Freddie

Thank you all for all the suggestions and comments...I guess I did sound a bit ignorant...travel being the way it is now and even in the past 100+ years it would only make sense that a surname would show up in other parts of the world...i will continue my quest to found out all there is to know about the surname Guarino, i do have questions about my mother's madien name too...Finelli. I have tracked down the ship my grandfather came over on and my grandmother, which her madien name is Sesto. shar [email protected] ("Cori Brendle") wrote in message news:<[email protected]>... > There is a strong Spanish heritage in the Philippines, which were once owned > by Imperial Spain, and perhaps it is to this she was referring, hence her > question regarding whether Guarino was Spanish. > > Regards, > Cori > > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, June 23, 2004 10:36 PM > Subject: surname Guarino > > > > At the chance of sounding ignorant... > > > > I was at my Doctors office today, he is a sweet, gentle, older man > > from the Phillipines.

For anyone who might be interested, I wanted to mention that there is a huge Italian American Festival this weekend in North Wildwood, NJ, hosted by the Wildwood Sons of Italy Lodge. Each year between 125,000 and 150,000 people attend. It opens tonight [4 p.m. to 10:45 p.m.], Saturday 5 p.m. to 11 p.m., Sunday 11 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Entertainment includes Lena Prima, Verdi Band, Italian Dancers, Bobby Burnett, Danny & The Juniors, Little Miss Italy Contest, Grape Stomping Contest, Musical Musumeci, Carmen "D" Orchestra, The Four Aces, The Emeralds a'Capella, Junior Pirollo & the 4 J's with Billy Carlucci. There will be Raffle drawings, face paintings, clowns, even the monkey & organ grinder. Sunday morning there is an Italian Mass at St. Ann's RC Church at Magnolia & Atlantic Avenues, to open the last day of the feast. Should be lots of fun! There is a web site: www.nwiaf.com To get to North Wildwood, take exit 6 off the Garden State Parkway. Grace Lancieri Olivo

Actually, many surnames in Naples are of Spanish origin, as that area was ruled by Spain.

There is a strong Spanish heritage in the Philippines, which were once owned by Imperial Spain, and perhaps it is to this she was referring, hence her question regarding whether Guarino was Spanish.

It simply indicates that at some point someone with that surname moved to Spain and then people with that name wound up in the Philipines when they were a Spanish possesion. As an aside, there are many Italian surnames in Mexico, because not a few of the troops who were with the Spanish when thry ruled there were actually Italian. Freddie

I cannot find a Philllipine White Page Directory on the Internet, but if you go to the Spain White Pages at http://www.infobel.com/Spain/ you will find 181 Guarino listings. Joe in Texas

Guarino is quite a common surname in Italy. There are more than 5000 people with this surname on the Italian phonebook and more than 40% of them come from the Campania region. Check here: <http://elenco.libero.it/elencotel/public/RisultatoRegioni.jsp?nome=&cognome=guarino> Ciao, Fabio
