rifacci

Rifacci is a surname of Italian origin. It is found in historical and contemporary records in Italy and among Italian diaspora communities. As with many Italian surnames, Rifacci may derive from a nickname, a trade, or a place name, but there is no widely accepted consensus on its precise etymology. The surname is relatively uncommon in today’s demographic data.

In Italian language usage, the sequence rifacci does not correspond to a standard lemma. The closest well-attested verb is rifare, meaning to redo or remake, with common forms such as rifaccio or rifai in different conjugations, and the noun rifacimento meaning a remake or reconstruction. The form rifacci itself is not listed as a standard Italian word in common dictionaries.

There are no widely cited individuals named Rifacci who have a dedicated article in general reference works. Consequently, Rifacci today is primarily encountered as a family name in local histories, genealogical records, or in discussions of Italian surnames rather than as a prominent topic of encyclopedic coverage.

Notable related terms include rifare and rifacimento, which pertain to the act of making again or remaking. See also: Italian surnames, Rifare, Rifacimento.
