词源

The Giarratano surname is derived from Italian Giarratana, a town in Ragusa, Sicily. The town name Giarratana comes from Cerretanum, as noted by Sicilian etymologist Michele Pasqualino. Giarratana or Cerretanum is from Italian cerro, from the Latin Quercus Cerris, meaning Turkey oak, Quercus cerris, due to the many oak trees in the area.. Gradually over time, Cerretanum changed to Giarratana, due to phonetic assonance.
