Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Troiano is predominantly found in the Molise, Puglia, Campania, and Basilicata regions. It likely originates from the ethnonym linked to the town of Troia in the province of Foggia. Historical records also show a medieval personal name Troianus, evidenced among students at the University of Perugia in the late 1500s, which may have contributed to the surname's origin. Troiano should be distinguished from Troiani, more common in Lazio and Abruzzo, and from Trojani, which is very rare and has a minor presence in Rome.
