Etymology
Manzoni is an Italian family name, best known as the name of the writer Alessandro Manzoni. It likely comes from the name Manzo ('young ox' or 'steer') plus a family ending like -i meaning 'family of', so a helpful way to remember Manzoni is to imagine the 'Manzo' family and link that image to the Italian novelist.
