Have just begun to research the Davi surname.
My ggggggrandmother was Maria Antonia Davi who
married Stefano Scalici in the Palermo area.
I am interested to know if the name is a form
of David or D'Avi. Either way, I think it is Jewish
in origin.
I have the birth, marriage and death indexes
for the Palermo area from 1820 thru 1895
for the Davi name. If you need me to look up
a name for you let me know.
Maybe we're related along the line.
