pelletieri

Pelletieri is a surname of Italian origin. It is believed to be an occupational surname, derived from the Italian word "pellettiere," which translates to "furrier" or "dealer in furs." This suggests that individuals bearing the surname Pelletieri were historically involved in the trade or crafting of fur garments and products. The surname is most commonly found in Italy, particularly in the southern regions such as Campania. As with many surnames, its exact origins can be traced back to specific families who adopted the name based on their profession or geographical location. Over time, the Pelletieri surname spread through migration, and can now be found in various countries around the world, including the United States, Canada, and Argentina, where Italian immigrants settled. While the occupational meaning is the most widely accepted, surnames can sometimes evolve or have multiple origins, but the connection to the fur trade remains the predominant theory for the Pelletieri surname.
