severdi

Severdi is a surname of Italian origin. It may refer to any person bearing the name and to lineages traced through genealogical sources. The form likely derives from the given name Severus, a Latin name meaning "stern" or "severe"; Italian naming practices often produced patronymic surnames by attaching suffixes to a root based on a parent's name. As a result, Severdi can be interpreted as "descendants of Severus" or as a regional variant in some areas.

In historical records, Severdi appears in Italian civil and church documents from the late medieval period onward, with regional distribution varying over time. Today, the surname is carried by individuals in Italy and among Italian communities abroad, including Europe and the Americas.

Notable bearers are not concentrated in a single field, reflecting the surname's general nature. People named Severdi have been active in diverse areas such as academia, arts, business, and public life, mirroring common patterns for widely dispersed Italian names.
