[little me]

Can anyone tell me where the surname Bartolo comes from?

According to www.spatial-literacy.org (University college London) research it is Italian & Spanish originally. In 1998 the largest number of people with that name in the Uk were resident in East London & second largest group in Cardiff area - also quite a spread in the Kilmarnock & Arran area. You can find out more on their website - and also follow the link to the mosaic profile which tells you more about the people with that name in the UK.

The name was not around in the UK in 1881 so they have arrived here since then.
