Origin
Meaning and origin of Stagi
The surname STAGI is of Italian origin, with its roots traced back to the 14th century in the region of Tuscany. The name is believed to have been derived from the Italian word "stagione," meaning "season," possibly referring to a person's birth or occupation during a particular time of the year.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the STAGI surname can be found in the archives of the city of Florence, where a merchant named Giovanni STAGI was mentioned in a document dated 1372. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the region by that time.
During the Renaissance period, the STAGI family gained prominence in the city of Siena, where they were involved in various trades and professions. In the 16th century, a renowned artist named Bartolomeo STAGI (1515-1571) gained fame for his exquisite frescoes and paintings adorning several churches and palaces in Siena.
The STAGI name also appeared in historical records from other parts of Italy, such as in the Venetian Republic, where a merchant named Alessandro STAGI (1578-1643) was noted for his successful trading ventures with the Ottoman Empire.
In the 18th century, a notable figure bearing the STAGI surname was Girolamo STAGI (1712-1789), a philosopher and theologian from Naples, who wrote several influential works on ethics and moral philosophy.
Another prominent individual with the STAGI surname was Pietro STAGI (1825-1901), a military general from Piedmont who played a significant role in the unification of Italy under the House of Savoy.
As the STAGI family spread throughout Italy and beyond, variations in the spelling of the surname emerged, such as Staggi, Stagghi, and Staggia. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and pronunciation patterns.
While the STAGI name has its origins in Italy, it has since been carried by individuals and families across the globe, with descendants living in various parts of Europe, the Americas, and beyond.
Demographics
Ancestry and ethnicity for Stagi

The bar chart below shows how Stagi bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Stagi surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
