Family name origins & meanings

  • Italian : patronymic from the personal name Toccio, a short form of a pet name formed with this ending, as for example (Al)bertoccio from berto or Alberto, Bartoccio from Barto and Bartolo, or Fantoccio from Fante.
  • Greek (Totsis, Tokis) : from a pet form of the personal name Theotokēs, a derivative of theotokos, an epithet of the Virgin Mary (from theos ‘god’ + tokos ‘bearer’, ‘biological mother’, from tiktein ‘to give birth to’).
