Thank you, Erudita. Could you explain the difference in spellings, one "n" and two "n"s? Is this common?

You're very welcome, Dolores.

As to the spelling question, you're asking a hard question of a non-native speaker of the Italian language. I haven't formally studied the language since I was in college, so I don't really remember its rules of pronunciation. From my own background in the field of linguistics though, I can tell you that changes in spelling can be brought about by changes in pronunciation. As to Italian, I've read that, if you're listening to a native Italian speaker, you can tell if there is a double letter, as double letters always take twice as long as single letters to pronounce. Even in earlier times, scribes and church officials spelled names phonetically; i.e.,how they sounded to them, rather than according to any specific spelling rules. So I think that a change in how the surname Ianuzzi was pronounced is what brought about its spelling change to Iannuzzi.

IANNUZZELLI
IANNUZZI
IANNUZZO
JANNUZZI
JANNUZZO
"Iannuzzi è stato da me studiato con apposite ricerche d'archivio: deriva dalla forma cognominale Iannuzzo (variante della forma dialettale Ianni, derivata a sua volta dal nome Giovanni), trasformatasi in Iannuzzi tra '800 e '900, (ma è ancora esistente per alcuni rami la forma Iannuzzo). Il cognome in Campania proviene dalla provincia di Avellino, dalla zona del comune di Pietrastornina e dintorni, e dal Salernitano dalla Piana del Sele: i due rami in questione sembrerebbero appartenere ad un unico ceppo proveniente dalla vicina Puglia (con ogni probabilità i Iannuzzi e i Iannuzzo campani discendono da due fratelli emigrati nel '600 dalla Puglia per motivi ancora poco chiari e datisi all'attività agricola nei luoghi -nel salernitano e nell'avellinese- dove si stanziarono: gli studi in merito sono ancora in corso). Altri ceppi consistenti sono oggi presenti in Puglia e in Calabria nel cosentino, ma non sarei in grado di stabilire correlazioni fra essi. Tra le famiglie Iannuzzi e Iannuzzo emigrate in altri Stati dall'Italia, molte hanno modificato il cognome in Januzzi/o o Jannuzzi/o, oppure in Yannuzzi/o o Yanuzzi/o. Anche nel nostro paese sono registrate famiglie Jannuzzi: è questo ad esempio il caso dell'illustre giornalista e politico On. Lino Jannuzzi, originario di Grottolella in provincia di Avellino (la variazione del cognome in questo caso è dovuta ad errore di trascrizione anagrafica da Iannuzzo a Iannuzzi, al plurale per indicare tutto il nucleo familiare, divenuto infine Jannuzzi)."

I'm sorry, but I don't feel that your explanation addresses the issue of the spelling change of the surname (from Ianuzzi to Iannuzzi) in the town of Frigento records from one time frame to another.

If mmogno doesn't translate his Italian post for you, then I suggest you copy and paste it into google translator. Although it doesn't always give you an accurate translation, it will, at least, give you a gist of what the post is about. Sorry, but I don't have time to translate it for you today. Too much to do to prepare for the holiday and our trip to visit family.

That's fine, Erudita. I thought about googling it but I suspect that it won't help much. We shall see.

It actually translated well!

"Iannuzzi has been studied by me with special archival research: it derives from the Iannuzzo cognominal form (variant of the dialectal form Ianni, derived in its turn from the name Giovanni), transformed in Iannuzzi between '800 and' 900, (but it still exists for some branches the form Iannuzzo). The surname in Campania comes from the province of Avellino, from the area of ​​Pietrastornina and surroundings, and from Salerno from Piana del Sele: the two branches in question would seem to belong to a single stock coming from nearby Puglia (in all likelihood Iannuzzi and Iannuzzo campani descend from two brothers emigrated in the '600 from Puglia for reasons still unclear and given to agricultural activity in the places in Salerno and nell'Arellinese- where they settled: the studies in this regard are still in progress.) Other large strains are present today in Puglia and Calabria in the Cosenza area, but I would not be able to establish correlations between them: Iannuzzi and Ia families nnuzzo emigrated to other states from Italy, many changed the surname to Januzzi / o or Jannuzzi / o, or to Yannuzzi / o or Yanuzzi / o. Also in our country are registered Jannuzzi families: this is for example the case of the illustrious journalist and politician Hon. Lino Jannuzzi, originally from Grottolella in the province of Avellino (the variation of the surname in this case is due to error of registry transcript from Iannuzzo in Iannuzzi, in the plural to indicate the whole family nucleus, which finally became Jannuzzi). "

Yes, I think it gives you the main ideas of mmogno's post. Glad it worked out, Dolores.
