Meaning & History

This name was first found in Northern Italy (Tuscany and Liguria, to be precise). Its meaning and etymological origin is unknown, though it is probably related to the name of the Italian town of Barisano, which was named Castrum Barisani (meaning "Barisan's castle") in its earliest records. A bearer of this name was Barisan of Ibelin, a knight from the 12th century AD.
