I found that this name is spelt differently from generation to generation...Ceglia, Siglia, Sigliano...Anyone else know other spellings?

My grandfather changed from Ceglia to Sigleo when he served in the army during WWII. He also had a cousin by the same exact name and wanted to avoid confusion.

My family name was Ceglia. As happened so very often during those terrible years of anti Italian discrimmination,(the teens and 20's in America) the name was changed to Ceglie and is pronounced totally different from the Italian pronunciation of Ceglia.
