- This category is part of the Basso Name Study
This is a One Name Study to collect together in one place everything about the surname Basso and its variants. The hope is that other researchers like you will join our study to help make it a valuable reference point for people studying lines that cross or intersect. Please contact the project leader, add categories to your profiles, add your questions to the bulletin board, add details of your name research, etc.
The surname is of Italian origin and especially "popular" in Northern Italy. It's not a rare surname and seems to indicate that it's rather an attribute being given to describe the earliest Basso ancestor. Still, for the genealogical time frame where written records exists it should be possible to find family members which originate from one joined ancestor, like eg in Asiago there are many Basso but it seems they all go back sooner or later to one family.
