Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Stocco is characteristically Venetian, with historical mentions dating back to the 14th century featuring the Latin form Stochus. It likely originates from a medieval given name commonly used in the Veneto region. In contrast, Stocchi appears in areas like Parma, Trieste, Aretine, Perugia, and Rome with diverse origins. In Trieste and surrounding Friuli and Veneto areas, there is a Slavic influence: surnames such as Stojković, Stokovac, and their Italianized forms Stocovich and Stocovaz derive from the Slavic name Stojko, a short form of Stojan meaning 'steady' or 'firm'. This dual origin differentiates Stocco from the related Stocchi, which is more tied to native medieval Italian roots.
