I am engaged to be married to a Loiacano and would like to know how the name would be pronounced in Italy. Can someone help me?
it sounds like the corruption of a family name that at the beginning probably was Lo Iàcono and it is definitely from Sicily. I recorded how to pronounce it, it's mp3: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=JN3PKXQO it's a little feeble, so keep the volume level high
I really like that....Maybe once we get married we will change it to the proper name! I plan on doing a little research myself.... I know the name was changed when they migrated to America. His family says Lah Kanoh and my fiance and I say it Loy K ah No But, I am intrigued by what you have told me...you are most likely correct! And yes, the boys are definetly Sicilian! Thanks again!
