This suggests that the name may have been originally associated with a person who kept or traded in these birds or perhaps had some physical or behavioral characteristic resembling the titmouse.

In its earliest recorded forms, the name appeared as Azzolini or Azzolino in various regions of Italy, particularly in the northern areas around Veneto and Lombardy. Some records from the 13th and 14th centuries mention individuals with similar spellings, such as Azzolinus and Azolinus, indicating the name's long-standing presence in the region.

This manuscript includes mentions of individuals bearing the name, suggesting its prevalence in the Veneto area during that time.
