Help with Italian surname

Post by daisy20 »

Hi can someone help me evaluate the italian surname on this passenger list. Is it Cardogna or Cardogua? Is the name common in Amalfi?

Thanks,

Christine

I agree with Erudita. In Italy today, the surname "Cardogua" doesn't exist:

And even though it's extremely rare, the surname "Cardogna" is present today in Italy:
