Meaning & Origins
Italian: topographic name from spina ‘thorn’, ‘thorn bush’, or a habitational name from any of the numerous places named with this word. De Felice believes there may also have been a religious byname involved (probably as the subject of the dedication of a shrine), referring to Christ's crown of thorns.
