Baiano

Baiano is a common of the Province of Avellino in the Campanie in Italy.

Linguistic characteristic

Being Baiano near to the Province of Naples, its inhabitants speak a dialect closer to Neapolitan than about that of the province of Avellino.

Toponymic etymology

The name comes from the Latin name of a named person Bius to which the suffix is coupled - anus which indicates the membership. Another assumption is that the name comes from the Latin name of a named person Badius and, that with time, the di was transformed into I , always with the suffix - anus . Lastly, the name would come from Praedium Vallejanum , formerly Villa di Valleo , a V being in the blazon of the city.
