Belluccio

Belluccio is an Italian surname. It is found in Italy and among descendants of Italian communities abroad, reflecting patterns common to Italian family names. The exact origin of the name is not definitively documented in major reference works, but it is typically regarded as a patronymic or toponymic surname. The suffix -uccio is a diminutive or affectionate ending in Italian, which in onomastic usage often indicates lineage, a familial relation, or a smaller form, suggesting that Belluccio may have arisen as a derivative of a given name or a place name linked to a root such as Bell- or Bel-. However, precise etymologies are not universally agreed and may vary by region or family history.

Demographics and distribution are not concentrated in a single Italian region, and the surname tends to appear in civil records, genealogical sources, and diaspora communities rather than in widespread modern prominence. As a result, there are no widely recognized individuals with the surname Belluccio who have standalone entries in major biographical reference works.

In culture and usage, Belluccio may appear in local genealogies, family histories, or fiction, but it does not have a well-documented, prominent association with a specific work or public figure. For readers researching surname origins, related names such as Bellucci and Belluzzo are sometimes noted in onomastic discussions due to stylistic and etymological similarities, though they represent distinct lineages.
