Bassetti Name Meaning, Origin and Heraldry

Behind the Bassetti surname stands Bassi, an Italian name that clerks and families wrote in more than one way.

With the diminutive -etti, Bassetti is a pet form of Bassi that became a surname in its own right. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Bassetti, so the heraldry linked to Bassi is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Bassetti report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
