Mingòt
This form is an altered form of the surname Menico.
Origin and meaning
The authors agree that this surname derives from the shortened hypocoristics of the personal name Domenico: Ménico and Mìnico, Ménego or Mìnigo, Ménco or Minco, Méngo or Mingo, Méco or Mécco. These short forms were already common and are documented in the Middle Ages, after the year 1000.
F. De Laurentiis adds that the Latin name Dominicu(m) was used among Christians and could allude to children born on a Sunday (die(m) dominica(m)), but also, by its direct reference to the Latin Dominu(m), meant "belonging to the Lord".
E. De Felice specifies the geographical distribution of the various variants: Menico predominates in Tuscany; Minico, in the region of Campania; Menego and Minigo, in northern Italy, with a high concentration in Veneto; Menco, in the centre; Minco, in the south; Mengo, from the north to Puglia; Mingo, in Emilia-Romagna; Meco and Mecca, in Tuscany and the centre; and Meni, in Veneto. De Felice further adds that Meneghini may have as its base Meneghino or Meneghin, a hypocoristic of Domenico by which in the 17th century the zanni were frequently designated in the Po plain, and that Micca may be, outside the south, a rare hypocoristic of Michele.
