Meaning and background
The story behind Pucci
Pucci is an Italian patronymic or plural form of Puccio. The linked Puccio entry explains affectionate short forms drawn from names such as Filippuccio and Iacopuccio. This gives the surname a documented personal-name structure and more than one possible full-name source. A fashion or artistic tribute may be a modern reason to choose Pucci, while its older derivation concerns the way Italian pet names became family names.
