ArchivesCarpenito (Italian)
I have heard my last name means little carpenter, but I have not read or seen anything that prooves this. Just wondering if anyone has anything different?

Most likely your last name is an Anglophone misspelling of "Carpineto", which in Italian means "Hornbeam Grove" and is a rather common placename in Italy.

Carpinus betulus, European Hornbeam
Nice tree, adaptable to many landscape situations and sites. Usually grown for reliable gold fall color and interesting fruit. I wouldn't mind being named for it. Check out this link for pictures and info:
