VIDEO PODCAST: Types of Trentino Surnames and Their Roots

MONDAY 12 MAY 2025


Hi, Friend!


Lynn Serafinn from Trentino Genealogy again.


I wanted to let you know that I just posted another new VIDEO PODCAST on YouTube, as well as on my website.

VIDEO: Linguistic Idiosyncrasies

You can WATCH this VIDEO PODCAST on YouTube here:

Or on my website at


In this 50-minute video podcast, we look at the 4 primary types of surnames in Trentino and their linguistic roots. We look at:

  1. Patronymic surnames

  2. Surnames derived from personal nicknames

  3. Surnames derived from place names

  4. Surnames derived from occupations.

 Many examples are given. I do hope you enjoy it and find it useful.

By the way, this podcast was originally broadcasted on Facebook Live in our Trentino Genealogy group, way back in January 2021. But this week, my very talented grandson Percy Pendred edited it and made it look really professional. If you are in need of a video editor for your business videos, give me a shout and I'll put you in touch with Percy.


Until next time, I wish you well.


Warm wishes,

Lynn Serafinn
