Meaning and background
The story behind Stallone
Stallone has documented Italian surname roots involving both horses and the buildings that housed them. The Dictionary of American Family Names offers a stallion nickname or an occupational name for a horse breeder. It also gives an explanation involving an enlarged form of stalla, meaning stable, used for a location or place of origin. Those alternatives should remain separate rather than becoming one certain translation.
- Origin
