    D'Ignoti (of unknown), Diotisalvi (God save you), Diotaiuti (God help you), Diotallevi (God bring you up), Servodidio (servant of God), Di Dio (of God), Esposti (exposed), Trovati (find), Innocenti (innocent), these are some of the traditional names given to abandoned children whose origin was unknown.

    Esposito is a common Italian surname, originally given to children left to the care of institutions, usually babies born out of wedlock. Convents had a "ruota" - a revolving door where they could be left anonymously. The same with the Spanish surname Expósito.

      @ilargitxo2 Why are you so defensive? There's nothing wrong with the question. If people in Spain abandon babies for other reasons besides poverty, just say no plain and simple. I suppose they assumed poverty because that is the most common reason why parents abandon children. And how did the question warrant the sudden racism? You suddenly assumed someone's nationality just because of the question? Or you just enjoy the freedom of being condescending on the internet?

    doing ancestry/genealogy is really cool. I always heard stories about how my grandfather worked in a coal mine since he was a little boy. it was kind of in one ear and out the other. then I did genealogy work for the first time and found a census record from when my grandfather was 14. It stated that he currently was not living at home because he was working in another state (in their coal mines). That was one of the moving experiences I've ever had. Even though I had heard the stories, to see it, and to realize that it meant he was not even living at home when he wasn't in school was amazing. Everything just became a reality.

    There are plenty of surnames in Italy that have the same meaning, for example "Bianco", that means white, was used to indicate that the surname of the orphan was unknown and hence left blank on the birth record, so it was recorded as "Bianco". other names, like "Diotallevi" have a religious connotation, in this case Diotallevi litterally translates in "May God raise you".

    The name Esposito (4th most common Italian surname) means something similar..It means "Exposed"..To be abandoned, and left outside...So way back when, if a baby was abandoned to an orphanage, let's say, they would be given the surname "Esposito" whereby making it almost impossible to track ancestral origins.

    When I was researching my ancestors in Italy I would sometimes come across the name Esposito (boy) or Esposita (girl). I asked "why are there no parents listed for these people?" They look at me like I was an idiot and said "There are no parents: Esposito." I never thought about the meaning of the name Esposito (exposed). Duh!

      Well...then your family has probably been really wealthy since then lol. I don’t wanna assume anything but at the same time, it was mostly wealthy families who were able to keep records of their descendants and do a beautiful family tree. And that’s a big privilege. The commoners didn’t have the time and resources to do so. I come from a family of poor working class people and even my own grandfather wasn’t really sure the exact day he was born in. Everything that I know about my family stops after my great grandparents, since it’s just memory work done by the elders 🤷🏻‍♀️

    My paternal grandparents were originally from Mexico before moving to the US. However, my parents were able to trace my paternal lineage back to my 11th great grandfather, who lived in the Italy region around 1830 before he moved to Mexico and started a family there. Italy wasn't even called Italy at this point.
    My maternal grandmother is 100% Czech and maternal grandfather is 100% Mexican. This makes me an ItaliCzexican.

      There was an Italian definition of babies that were abandoned by their mothers. It's "madre ignota" ("mother unknown") or, it would be also shortened to "m ignota". It would eventually be transformed to "mignotta", all in one word. Mignotta in modern Italian is a vulgar expletive designating a prostitute. It is mainly used in another expletive, "figlio di mignotta" ("son of a bitch").
