Family name origins & meanings
- Italian : of uncertain derivation. The surname is most frequent in Campania and Apulia, where Ammaturo is also a frequent family name, suggesting that Turo may perhaps be a short form of this name. Alternatively, it may be from a reduced form of the personal name Arturo (see Arthur).
- Hungarian (Túró) : metonymic occupational name from túró ‘curd’.
