Cugini Family History
Cugini Surname Meaning
Italian: from the plural of cugino ‘cousin’ (from Latin consobrinus) which in the Middle Ages had the general meaning ‘relative kinsman’.
The surname would thus have denoted a person related in some way to a prominent figure in the neighborhood.
In some cases it may have been a nickname for someone who used the word frequently as a familiar term of address.
