Ancestry
Is he Lebanese American? Badagnani 23:38, 7 September 2007 (UTC)


 * I always thought he was Sicilian. I never knew Taibbi was a Lebanese surname.  But this makes sense now.  Taibbi is a very popular surname in Sicily, and could have been imported by past waves of immigration from the Middle East (see Arab Emirate of Sicily).  I'm certain that Mike Taibbi is from Boston.  Coincidentally, Boston's North End once had a sizable population of immigrants from Sciacca, in Agrigento, Sicily.  Ironically, Sciacca (from Syac, al Saqquah, or Shai al Quaaum) is a Sicilian town of Arab origins.  If you look at this map, you can see that most Sicilian Taibbi's are from the Agrigento area: Taibbi Map:: As for his true ancestry, I guess it's still a mystery.  I can't find anything online.  Maybe someone could e-mail him at NBC? --Salvuzzo (talk) 08:08, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Must be Sicilian, then. Matt Taibbi is his son. Badagnani (talk) 08:55, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

It appears that Arabic Taibis usually just use one "b" in their names: see http://publish.uwo.ca/~ttaibi/ and Rami_Bin_Said_Al_Taibi. Badagnani (talk) 08:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
