Neri is a common surname from Spain.
It also can be found in Latin America and the U.S.A,[1] particularly among those of Italian descent.
Derived from the Italian word — nero (black),[2] to describe a dark-complexioned or black-haired person, though many Neris have no connection to that, but were given the surname precisely because of its commonness.
e.g.: The spelling variations include: Neretti, Neritti, Nerini, Neroni, Nerucci, Nieri, Nerozzi, Neri and Néri.
