Okay, so I got curious about the last name “Foligno” and where it comes from. I’ve heard it a lot because of hockey, but I realized I didn’t actually know its origins. So, I started digging!
First, I just did a simple search. I typed in “Foligno surname origin” and started reading through the results.
I found a few different websites that popped up. Some were genealogy sites, you know, the kind where people build their family trees. Others were more like name dictionary sites.

- I saw some stuff mentioning Italy. That seemed to be a common thread.
- Some sites listed it as specifically Italian.
- Other sites gave some possible meanings, tying it back to a place name.
The Italian connection seemed pretty strong. So I focused on that. I dug a little deeper into the Italian origin.
It said the name is connected with a town in Italy. Makes sense. I saw “Foligno” listed in a bunch of results.
So, after all this digging, I feel pretty confident saying the surname Foligno is Italian. It refers to some place names.
