I am looking for the meaning and origin of the last name Stucchi?

Does anyone have any ideas


I have already searched online and found nothing not one thing except they are all located in massachussets and no where else. This is really interesting to me

I am looking for the meaning and origin of the last name Stucchi?
Ancestry.Com wasn't too helpful.





Now, the "ch" in Italian is pronounced like a


"k" in English.





If the name was pronounced Stoot chee then in Italian it would have been spelled Stucci.





FamilySearch.org has some entries for both spellings. The Stucci were shown in Switzerland but part of Switzerland is Italian speaking. FamilySearch.org is free.





Now information in family trees found on any website must be taken as clues not as fact as most is not documented. Even if you see the same information over and over by different submitters, a lot of copying is being done. There are errors in those trees.





Rootsweb has some family trees for Stucchi, not many and a few for Stucci. Rootsweb is also free. When you get into Rootweb put the name under the World Connect block. Probe a name and it will take you to a screen giving you the email address of the submitter.
Reply:In Italian, stucchi translates to "fed up".

Reply:Because it iterests you, you can research your family back through time, history and geography and really have some fun at it, maybe even travel opportunities, for real meaning and origins of your very own ancestors.
Reply:There is a STUCCHI family from Framingham, Mass. in the 1930 U.S. Census and the patriarch 'Camillo' was from Italy.





There are STUCCHIS on many databases on ancestry.com, which is a fee-paying site. This is where I located the above.





To add to the STUCCHI link to Italy, on the SSDI (social security death index) there is one SUCCHI death "Lorenzo STUCCHI: - states " Death: Aug 1983 - (U.S. Consulate), Italy" . I infer that this means he died in Italy. If you are linked to this family, this may make sense to you. If not, at the very least it shows the link to Italy.





I used an online Italian dictionary and although there is no translation for STUCCHI, there is the word "astuccio" - bag, kit, case...this could be a clue or not... http://www.freedict.com/onldict/ita.html (this is an easy to use online dictionary for 15 other languages, as well!)





Good luck...
Reply:It is probably a variation of another name....for example Stuchi or Stucki (I have some Stucki relatives in my family tree--originally from Switzerland.)





I went to http://www.familysearch.org and searched for Stuchi and found a lot from Switzerland and a handful in Italy.





As you trace back your family one generation at a time, you may be able to find when/if the name changed slightly.





You could also try the surname variations at the message boards at:

Good luck,
