Surname Tucci, Tuccio, Tucceri and variations

In the 14th century in Montieri (GR) there was a bishop named Ser Tuccio, and in Florence one Giovanni di Tuccio degl'Infangati. Since at the time no surnames as such were in use, this Tuccio was probably a diminutive form of names anding in "-to" as Alberto, Roberto, Santo, Vito and others.
