The pisciotta Surname
pisciotta Name Meaning and History
Italian (mainly Sicily): perhaps from a derivative of pisci
‘fish’ (southern variant of pesce), hence a metonymic
occupational name for a fisherman or fish seller, or a nickname for
someone thought to resemble a fish. Alternatively, it could be a
derivative of pisciu ‘urine’, and so a nickname from this,
perhaps anecdotal. In Campania and surrounding areas it is also a
habitational name from a place so called in Salerno province.
