Well Ruxius , I think it may sound great either in english than in italian...it's meaning is held to Tradition...it's a transposition
of my italian surname Russo in ancient Latin , since I was born in Rome and I am fond on ancient Roman history ...
Historical researches showed it was an appellative given by south italians inhabitants to the Northmen who landed in Sicily and southern italy and means 'red'..that was referred to their
hair color and bird...
it was dialet....
then in italian it became "Rossi"...which means the same...
since it's an appellative for a whole people it's normal Russo & Rossi are the most popular surnames here in Italy
Since the italic somatics are dominant I have brown eyes and hair..but I have some cousins with red hair and very tall...
northmen were in some way Germans ..so I call my self
Italian Soldier
German Discipline !
