My grandfather was from Mexico, his father was Gervacio Toscano he married Trinidad Gutierrez , My grandfather had a son that now lives in Central California, and now I have cousins living there, in Michigan and Texas.

Re: What does my last name mean
I'm also Mexican specifically in Jalisco born but i know that the last name Toscano comes from Italy. I went on vacation to Rome and Florence in 2005 and i found out that the Toscano name is from the region of Toscana in which is similar to a state here in the US. I believe that some how our ancestors traveled with the Spaniards on there quest to Mexico and ended up staying in Mexico. If you go to Florence and your name is Toscano you will find out that the last name is very common unlike in mexico or even the US.

Actually Toscano/Tuscano is quite common in the U.S. My husband's Toscano family came from the Abruzzi region in Italy.

Re: What does my last name mean
It's pretty simple, generally the last name is the area they are from. Toscano...most likely Tuscany. Etc. my grandfathers last name was Pellegrino, there is a Mount Pellegrino in Sicily where the city he is from. Also means pioneer. A lot of Italians moved to argentina and other latin american countries if they couldnt get into the usa.
