Origin of the Lombardi name
Lombardi is the plural of Lombardo, "from Lombardy", the region named after the Germanic Lombards (Longobardi). In the Middle Ages lombardo also came to mean a merchant, banker or moneylender, because so many of them came from northern Italy. The surname is spread across central and southern Italy, where it often marked newcomers from the north.
