"Troy" and "Turgesius" are English equivalents of the Italian word Troisi. The surname in question occurs in Sicily as the Latin name for the Norman province established there and throughout Italy since it is linked with the Trojan diaspora from Eurasia to insular and peninsular Italy after the fall of Troy about 3,200 years ago. The pronunciation, depending upon the speaker's birthplace, will be "twa-see" or "twa-zee" in Italian.
