Curzio is both a given name and a surname.




History


This name derives from the Latin curtĭus, which in turn derives from the Latin curtus, meaning shortened or short. The gens Curtia was an ancient but minor noble family in Rome of Samnite origin, with both patrician and plebeian branches. The only member of the gens invested with the consulship under the Republic was Gaius Curtius Philo, in 445 BC. A few Curtii held lesser magistracies during the Republic, and there were two consuls suffectus in imperial times. However, the gens is best remembered from a series of legends dating from the traditional founding of the city to the early Republic.
