Liebigi

Liebigi is a surname, most often encountered as an Italianized form of the German surname Liebig. The -i ending reflects Italian orthographic practice in rendering foreign names, and the form can appear in Italian-language texts and genealogical records. The usage is primarily historical or linguistic rather than indicating a distinct cultural or institutional identity.

In historical contexts, Liebigi may appear in relation to German chemist Justus von Liebig when Italian sources discuss his work or his eponymous products. For example, discussions of Liebig’s Extract of Meat in Italian publications sometimes render the brand name as Estratto di carne Liebigi. This illustrates how Italian readers encountered the name in science and industry of the 19th and early 20th centuries. The Italian form does not denote a separate person; it is a transliteration habit.

There are no widely recognized individuals who bear the surname Liebigi as a distinct identity in major reference works; the name is relatively uncommon compared with the standard form Liebig. In modern usage, Liebigi remains far more common as a surname, brand, or topic in its original German form.
