Nozzo is Italian in Origin.
Nozzo is a rare Italian given name more familiar as a surname in southern Italy. Its etymology is uncertain: some sources connect it to Italian nozze “wedding,” from Latin nuptiae, while others view it as a dialectal hypocoristic with the suffix -ozzo formed from bases like Enzo, Lorenzo, or Vincenzo; a less common proposal links it to noce “walnut” (Latin nux). Depending on the derivation, the name’s sense ranges from “nuptials; marriage” to “walnut,” or simply a friendly nickname shape.
As a given name, Nozzo appears in modern records and remains uncommon, occasionally chosen for Italian heritage or for its celebratory undertone. Variants and related forms include Nozzi, Nozza, and Nozio; surnominal compounds such as Di Nozzo and Lo Nozzo are also found. Short forms Noz or Nozzy occur in English. See also Enzo, Nunzio, Lorenzo, and Vincenzo.
