“definitive Sicilian onomastic study, listing most Sicilian surnames and their localities of highest frequency, is Gerolamo Caracausi’s Dizionario Onomastico della Sicilia, published in 1994 in two volumes”
Louis Mendola, Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry

“After Italian, Sicilian is the most widely spoken Italic language in Italy, followed closely by Neapolitan. Sicily has several Albanian communities founded in the fifteenth century, where Arberesh, the medieval Tosk dialect of Albanian, is spoken; this was the mother tongue of Francesco Crispi, Italy’s first Sicilian prime minister.”
Louis Mendola, Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry

“Into the early decades of the fifteenth century, most Sicilians, both Christian and Jewish, lacked hereditary surnames.”
Louis Mendola, Sicilian Genealogy and Heraldry
