Tripodi family name?

Does the name have a specific meaning? Are there still many Tripodi's, mainly in the Palermo/Sicily area. Specifically anyone that left Palermo round about WW2? Any info will be greatly appreciated, Tnx

Yes, it has a meaning: a Tripode is a 3 leeged table or container, very used in ancient times. Tripodi is the plural of this name. The english name is tripod.

If you go to this web page:
http://gens.labo.net/it/cognomi/genera.h...
type your last name into the box labeled "cognome" and it will give you a map showing where that name is found and how often. As you'll see it's super popular in the toe of Italy as well as in the Milan area (I think that's normal, since many Southern Italians moved to the northern industrial cities for work).

good luck!
