"Botticello" means "little barrel" in Italian.
Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi(now known as Sandro Botticelli) modified his brother's nickname "Botticello"(presumably called that because he was big) to create the name he is known by today.
So...Botticelli doesn't mean anything.
It is derived from "Botticello", which means "little barrel"

∙ 12y agoBotticello means "little barrel" in Italian and was the nickname of Alessandro di Mariano Filipepi's brother(probably because he was fat). Therefore, when Alessandro became an artist, he began using the name Sandro Botticelli(slight deviation from Botticello). Now, when referring to his artwork, most refer to him as simply Botticelli.
