Submitted by Ethan Aquilina

The surname Aquilina is of Maltese origin, being a diminutive or familiar form of the nickname Aquila, "eagle", given to one of keen sight or perhaps of dignified and majestic bearing.

From such applications the name developed into a regular Christian name and thus, a surname. There are several early saints and martyrs of this name and the dedication of a parish church to one of them may have given the name a local popularity.

Sorry to tell you about our surname information, the information you have is not correct.

Aquilina came from Sicily in 1545, a doughter and her brother, who was a Knight, and were setiled in Siggiewi.

This information was given to me by a Knight, who use to stay at Valletta in St Paul Street, not far away from Hypnos shop, and at present his son is inposses of this information.

And to day I found out that in 932 there was a lady who became a Saint, I have this information from the internet.

Hope that you will be very glad with this information, I hope that we are from the same family three my friend.
