Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Somma has at least three distinct geographical origins in Italy: Lombardy, Campania, and Apulia. The Lombard branch likely derives from the place name Somma Lombardo in the province of Varese. In Campania, particularly around Naples and Salerno, the name originates from localities such as Massa di Somma and Somma Vesuviana. The Apulian presence represents another group, though less directly related to well-known place names.
