Yet it can be found in at least 6 countries. It seems that the name is originally from Italy, a place where we find more individuals named Roncada than in any other country. In addition, the Roncada living in Brazil and in Belgium today can trace their roots back to Italy. It seems that Roncadas living in France also came from Italy but this is not confirmed.
On the other hand, the name can also be found in Spain contributing to the discussion that Roncada is actually a Spanish name. The assumption is that Roncada individuals probably got into Italy when Spain dominated the southern part of Italy in the 1600's, and subsequently moved to the Lombardia-Veneto regions.
Others sustain that Roncada is derived from
the italian word Roncola, which is an instrument for trimming trees.
Also, a research by the Istituto Genealogico di Firenze (click on
Istituto, at left) asserts that Roncada is derived from its earliest form
Roncadi, a name traced back to the 700's of a family lineage who held
administrative positions at the city of Venezia.
In adition, the name may also be associated with the city
of Roncade in the Veneto.
This is the Roncada Family Web Site. It is an ongoing effort to collect and disseminate the genealogical tree of our name and the related family names which we are also part of. You are encouraged to participate in this effort sharing with us any information about the Roncada.
