Can you tell me my ethnicity????

Question

My last name is Cucinotta (pronounced: Ku-chi-no-ta)

and I don't know where it comes from.

My dad tells me we're Italians,but it looks to me Spanish. =_=

So, can someone tell me from what country my last name comes from thus my ethnicity?

THX

Answer 1

Spanish and Italian can be very similar, but I agree with your Dad

it looks Italian to me, and he's more likely to know about your heritage

than the average internet stranger.

Answer 2

If it's Ku-chi-no-tta then definitely Italian. In Spanish it would be pronounced Ku-si-no-tta or Ku-thi-no-tta (European Spanish).

Answer 3

Listen to your dad.  It is Italian in origin, mainly from Sicily.

Answer 4

Yes, Cucinotta is an Italian last name.

Maria Grazia Cucinotta is one of the most beloved Italian actress, she's from Sicily.
