Re: Americanized versions of italian names

I know this is an old post but I just now came across it. My grandmother's name was Mattea. She hated that name and changed it to Edith. She was born in Colorado but her parents were from Italy.

Can anyone trace back the Taravella name? My uncle told me that when he was very young he traveled to Sicily and Spain to try and trace his family history and was told that Taravella may have originated in a tiny town called Taravilla in Guadalajara Spain.
