Family name origins & meanings
- Italian : occupational name for a young servant, from garzone ‘boy’, ‘lad’, ‘servant’, possibly a loanword from French garçon.
- Italian : alternatively, it has been suggested that it could be from a derivative of garzo ‘head of a species of thistle used for teasing cloth’, presumably applied as a topographic or metonymic occupational name, or garza ‘heron’, or Calabrian and Sicilian garzu ‘sweetheart’, ‘lover’.
