MEANING OF MY NAME

[ginnyo]

I'm writing another message since I'm new at this site and am not sure my original message was sent.

I am interested in the meaning of my surname IACOBACCI. My mother thinks it means "here is a kiss"; however, I disagree. I think the IACOB
means JACOB from the latin for James.

If anyone has any information I would greatly appreciate an answer.

THANKS

Iacobacci coming from middle age name Jacopo/ Iacopo(also Iacobo in some regions)=Giacomo in currently italian language ; Iacobacci are an version of surname also are Giacomi, De Giacomo, Di Giacomo, Di Jacovo etc..more: Jacoboni, Iacovoni, Iacoponi, Giacoboni, Iacobucci etc..
are trace of this surname sure around 1530 year in Rome,on an Cola(=Nicola) Iacobacci in noble family's war between Orsini and Colonna princes , and (in ancient italian language) are this:

Se intrattennero benchè pochi dì alcune case et palazzi, con ricever dentro di quei soldati che primi se li appresentorno...." (means that Cola Iacobacci very good person, help and ospite in it house in Rome, soldiers of Colonna prince in war Orsini soldiers) text coming from: Domenico Orano autor :"Il Diario di Marcello Alberini (1521-1536), in «Archivio della R.

Ginny: You need to search your name at ancestry.com. I am told that mine, Iacobucci, means Iacob is a form of Jacob and that Ucci means son. I found much helpful info at that site. Your mom might be right.
