What is the origination of the surname Flontano?

Question

I was told it is Italian. It is my Great Grandmothers maiden name, and have had no luck finding any information on it. Can anyone help?

Answer 1

I think it is Italian. The spelling of it may have been changed, for example it may have been Flantino. You can go on to ellisisland.org and type in a passengers first and last name to see where they came from. I'd just type in the last name, it's more helpful.
