Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Morini is notably widespread in western Lombardy, the Alessandria area, Emilia-Romagna, and Tuscany. It derives from the late Latin personal name Morinus, which appears in a 1188 document of the Lombardy Diplomatic Code mentioning a figure called Morinus de Montano associated with a monastery. Historical evidence of this surname dates back to the 1400s in Mornico Losana (Pavia), where the Morini family is among the oldest recorded in the area.
