Meaning and background
The story behind Bacci
Bacci is an Italian surname with a documented personal-name history. Family-name researchers describe it as a plural or patronymic form of Baccio, a shortening of longer affectionate names such as Jacobaccio or Bartolaccio. It looks close to Italian baci, “kisses”, but that resemblance is not the surname’s documented derivation. Its two neat syllables make it easy to call in everyday use.
