Am I related to the ancient Spartan's?

Question

My last name is Spartano. My family is from Naples Italy. I have been very interested in the Spartan's ever since I saw the movie 300. I know that Sparta was apart of Greece, but I found out that the Spartan's went and colonized part of southern Italy. With my last name being Spartano, is there a chance that my family is decendants from the Spartans? I realize that I am giving limited info, but I appreciate the help!!! Thanks in advance!!!

Answer 1

no i actually think your related to an elephant.

Answer 2

Thats just a last name. You should try asking your parents better still your grandparents. they will know better.

If you are really into this, then consult a specialist to sort out your family tree.

Answer 3

Yes, yes you are.

Answer 4

That question cannot be answered.  Without doing your family tree, no one can know.  Asking if there is a chance is about like trying to predict the weather.  There is a chance it may rain..........or not rain..........who knows.

Answer 5

Probably, My family is from Greece so I too believe I am a SPARTAN!

Answer 6
