What is the meaning of the word "Detto"
I've come across the word "Detto" as part of the surname in quite a few birth records. e.g. Detto Peloi, Maria. Would Detto Peloi be the actual surname?
I'm referring to the birth records from the 1800's in Fiume Veneto.
Thank you.

Detto is a legal phrase meant to convey the phrase "said to be" based upon oral dictation from one person to another. =Peter=

I suggest that you post the document to have a correct answer.favret wrote:I've come across the word "Detto" as part of the surname in quite a few birth records. e.g. Detto Peloi, Maria. Would Detto Peloi be the actual surname?

It is true, as Peter said, that Detto may mean "called, known as", however "Detto Peloi, Maria", alone, has no meaning, I need to see the full sentence.
Re: What is the meaning of the word "Detto"
I do not have a photocopy of the document, but part of the birth certificate is as follows:
[hr]

I've come across this quite a few times.
Thanks.

I think it could be:
Luca
that means: from the above-mentionedUffiziale dello Stato Civile del Comune di Fiume ò comparso Del Col Basilio domiciliato in Proturlone, il quale mi ha dichiarato che alle ore anti meridiane undici e minuti nessuno, del tre del corrente mese, nella casa posta in Proturlone al numero 39 dal suddetto e da Bertolo Luigia é nato un bambino di sesso feminile che non mi presenta, a cui da il nome di Italia.

Re: What is the meaning of the word "Detto"
I'm not sure I understand.
I don't understand the relationship between "Mio" and DelCol.
Father's name is Del Col, Basilio
Mother's name is Bertolo, Luigia
Infant is Del Col, Italia
Sorry, but I must have my dunce cap on today.

Re: What is the meaning of the word "Detto"
My best guess is:
Uffiziale dello Stato Civile del Comune di Fiume è comparso Del Col Basilio domiciliato in Praturlone, il quale mi ha dichiarato che alle ore anti meridiano undici e minuti nessuno, del tre del corrente mese, nella casa posta in Praturlone al numbero 39 dal suddetto e da Bertolo Luigia é nata una bambino de sesso feminile che non mi presenta, a cui da il nome di Italia.

Once again we should see the document. I believe, and Luca believes, that the document reads: "dal suddetto" not "da mio detto".favret wrote:I'm not sure I understand.

Re: What is the meaning of the word "Detto"
I'm almost there. Thanks.
But why the "Mio" when Mio is a surname?
