Pisa Family History

Pisa Name Meaning

Italian and Spanish; Catalan (Pisà): habitational name from the city of Pisa in Tuscany. The city was probably founded by Greek colonists but before coming under Roman control it was in the hands of the Etruscans who probably gave it its name. At any rate the placename is of obscure origin and meaning. Compare Pisano . Italian: from the female personal name Pisa from the name of the city (see 1 above).
