Answer 1

hi...i believe the sure way to find out is ask your living relatives if they ever have any information regarding your quest. Like the other answers you get here. you start by tracing your linage. You could have both Italian and Spanish or Portuguese. However its your lineage itself has more knowledge and can provide you with definite answers. Try asking your elder relatives, grandparents perhaps they usually have stories and background about family histories. Although internet can provide name origin  meaning related info; nothing compared to one's family account.

Good luck and God Bless! Hope it helps ^_^

P.S. you might discover family secrets as well!!

Answer 2

I totally agree with all the other posters, the only way to find your ancestral origins, is to trace your family lineage back through the generations, you cannot do it by using the supposed origin of a name that was probably established more than 500 years ago, it would just be a pointless guess.

Macario : Last name origin & meaning:

Italian, Spanish, and Portuguese: from the personal name Macario, from Greek makarios ‘blessed’.

Answer 3

The only way to find out if you have Italian ancestry is to trace your family starting with yourself and working back one generation at a time.  We just can't go by names.  Macario might be both a Spanish and Italian name.

Anytime you wish to trace your family, there are lots of good people on this board that can give you some great tips and advice. Just ask.

Answer 4
