Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Casini is predominantly found in Emilia, Tuscany, Umbria, and the upper Lazio regions. It derives from various Apennine place names such as Casina (Reggio Emilia), Casini (Florence, Siena, and Pistoia provinces), and Casino (areas within Siena, Pisa, Reggio Emilia, Frosinone, and Rome). The root comes from the medieval Latin term ‘casina’, meaning a small rural house or farmstead. Historical records from 1153, like those in the Lombard Diplomatic Code, document settlements called Casino, highlighting the longstanding use of these names. In Modena, localities named Casine further support this rural toponymic origin. Casini is distinct from related surnames Casina and Casino, although all share this common geographic and linguistic background.
