but a Lutheran Italian is a rarity. Not necessarily, but it does tend to identify the family as originating near the Swiss border. lutheranworld.org

Secondly, Michael Schiavo's family are Lutheran which makes me think they are probably Estonian or Latvian. Schiavo is indeed slave in Italian...but a Lutheran Italian is a rarity. His family may have picked the religion here. Here.........I found the article.......he was confirmed in the Lutheran Church but he joined the Italian Club. Maybe his mother was Lutheran and his father Italian who was a lapsed Catholic. His father had been a ball player I think for the minor leagues. If his father was Lutheran then I bet the name was something longer like Schiavos and was shortened when their ancestors got to the States: "Schiavo, 41, was the youngest of five brothers brought up in the mass-produced suburb of Levittown, Pa. The brothers were confirmed in the Lutheran church, though Sunday services weren't always a priority, says Scott Schiavo, who still lives in Levittown. Once the "runt of the litter," Michael grew to 6-foot-7. But unlike his brothers, he had little interest in athletics; at Woodrow Wilson High School, Michael Schiavo joined the Italian Club, not the football squad." ocregister.com
