Casaretto meaning | Last name Casaretto origin

Surname is the derivation of Case. One who came from Case, in France; dweller at a manorial farm.

Casaretto is the derivation of the Case. This name is found in the Hundred Rolls and may be the Anglo-Norman cas, chance, hazard - probably with reference to the character, or some incident in the life, of the first person who bore it. So Hazard has become a family name. A family in Devonshire thus designated account for it by a tradition that, about two hundred years since, a foundling was laid at the door of a certain gentleman, to whom popular scandal attributed its paternity; the gentleman denied the allegation, but from motives of humanity had infant taken care of, and, from the circumstance of its having been enclosed in a packing-case, imposed upon the poor foundling this curious appellation. The French case, from Latin casa, a mean house, cottage, or hut, is, however, a more likely etymon.
