Origin notes

Origin and meaning

The surname Vignoli originates from several place names predominantly found in Emilia-Romagna and upper Tuscany, where the name is most common. These toponyms derive from the Latin word 'vinea', meaning 'vineyard'. Locations such as Vignola in the province of Modena and similar names like Vignale or Vignolo have given rise to this surname. Additionally, there is a secondary group of families bearing the name in southern Milan and Lodi areas of Lombardy. This geographical and historical origin clearly differentiates Vignoli from related surnames such as Vignali.
