Does this sound like a MAFIA name?

Question

does this last name sound like a mafia name? "SALVO"....yes it italian

Answer 1

I'm not sure what a Mafia name is.  I would imagine there are good decent people of Italian descent and persons in the Mafia probably share surnames.  Some might be related to each other and some not.

Don't form an opinion about anyone because of their surnames.

Answer 2

Not at all.

Answer 3

If you are talking about the surname it is probably De Salvo rather than just Salvo.

Salvo as a first name is probably a nickname from possibly Salvator or something similar.

Either way, the following info can be found at ancestry.com

Italian: from the personal name Salvo (‘safe’).
