The raffa Surname
raffa Name Meaning and History
- from the old Germanic personal name Raffo, possibly a feminized form.
- habitational name from Raffa, a locality of Puegnano del Garda in Brescia province. This source is unlikely to have contributed greatly to the American surname, since it belongs to an area (Lombardy) outside the main sources of migration to the U.S.
