The exact source of the word as the name for Jefferson's plantation home remains a mystery. However the name means"hillock" or "little mountain" in Italian, which makes sense being that the property is located on top of a steep, but small mountain in Charlottesville, Virginia.

For information on the name's origin is given through the related link below.
