"Pat (of butter)" and "small bread" are English equivalents of the Italian name Panetta. Etymologists link the surname in question to geographic origins in the Calabrian towns of Gerace, Locri and Siderno and to linguistic derivations from pane("bread") even though the feminine singular common, uncapitalized noun currently references about 50 grams (1.76 ounces) of butter in recipes. The pronunciation will be "pa-NET-ta" in Pisan Italian.
