Question:

I would like to know where my last name "romano" came from?

I know the last name is italian, but im no where near italian. Im dominican, so how did i possible get and italian last name. I know italians went to the dominican republic the discover and that could be a possibility, but how exactly did i get the last name. Does anyone know an explorer with that last name ?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Romano isn't just an Italian name. It's of ancient Latin origin, so yours is probably from Spain, that's all.
