Neri (surname)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Neri is a common surname from Italy. It also can be found in Latin America and the United States,[1] particularly among those of Italian descent.
Derived from the Italian word — nero (black),[2] to describe a dark-complexioned or black-haired person, though many Neris have no connection to that, but were given the surname precisely because of its commonness. e.g.:
- Pet form of names, Raineri and Maineri;
- In honour to St. Philip Neri.
