Maggini: Last Name and Heraldic Notes

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Maggini, so the heraldry linked to Maggi is a starting point, not an automatic right.

Meaning of the name

Spellings drift, and Maggini is where Maggi drifted for some families. Taken at its root, Maggini points to “May", a May child"”.

Maggini carries the diminutive ending -ini, so it began as a ‘little’ or affectionate form of Maggi. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. You may also find the name written Maggio.
