Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Tiozzo is predominantly Venetian, with strong origins centered around Chioggia. It most likely stems from shortened and affectionately modified forms of the given name Matteo, through processes such as aphesis and hypocoristic changes. Another plausible origin is from the term 'Chiozzoto', a demonym referring to inhabitants of Chioggia, adapted into a surname. Historically, Tiozzo derives from the ancient name Teozo, itself coming from Teuzo, documented as early as 1417. A closely related but distinct variant is the surname Tiozzi, which shares a similar origin.
