Candia/Candie

Post by ptimber »

The surname Candie is non existent while there are 311 surnames Candia in Italy. Consequently Candia is the correct spelling. The surname is not listed as an Italian surname in the surname dictionary indicating thast it is a local surname. The majority of Candia surnamed persons are in Sicilky and Calabria with scatterings to the north of Italy. There are only three towns with the town name Candia. One is simply Candia and the other two are Candia followed by another word so there should not be any confusion since geography and persons surname are mutually exclusive of one another. Peter
