To start, Ghisolfi is a Lombard name.

This is a most probably description f the history of Gisulf and Ghisolfi (and other derivations), based in research and old documents and books since family names start to be used after the low middle age (aprox after 500 a.c.), before it was common to see names making reference to the place where the person came from.

According to Professor Anthony Gisolfi (Professor Anthony M. Gisolfi ...University at Albany, State University of New York), Gisulf work meaning would makes reference to “Gis” as an old reference to spear and “ulf” making old reference to “wolfes”, the one who go to hunt/battle with Wolfes … Later, Reginaldo da Luz Ghisolfi, who used to talk with Prof Anthony and from Anthoni´s research, found some other evidences that supports Anthony’s research such as this: GERMAN SILVER VIKING BARBARIAN GOTH WARRIOR ROME SPEAR HORN WOLF BOX CHEST GOLD.

Lombard’s start their journey from Scandinavia and passing through Germany going to North Italy and spreading to other today European regions. See Paulo Diacono researches and books as an important reference about the Lombard’s history and migrations.

Paulo Dianono: Era discendente di Leupichi, che affiancava re Alboino nel passaggio dei Longobardi dalla Pannonia all'Italia. Da Cividale del Friuli, dove nacque nel 720 (o forse nel 730[1]),

Paolo Diacono (in latino Paulus Diaconus, pseudonimo di Paul Warnefried o anche Paolo di Varnefrido (Cividale del Friuli, 720 –Montecassino, 799) è stato un monaco, storico, poeta e scrittore longobardo di espressione latina.

Ghisolfi using the letters “GHI” makes reference to King Alboin, Lombard’s King, which concedes the North Italy Benevento Ducato to his nephew Gisulf.

Be aware that “GI” and Scandinavian/German origin languages sounds as “GHI” in Italian. So that´s why the name in Italian uses “Ghi”, from Gisulf to Ghisolfi.
