The Surname Today
forebears.io estimates that, in 2025, there were 531 people with the surname Baldacchino, 11 with Baldachino and 3 with Baldaccino in Australia. The very few spellings other than Baldacchino are likely to be simple misspellings in the sources for frequency today, e.g. phone directories, voter lists and the like. Also, the complete absence of the variant name Ballacchino is a good indicator that the Baldacchinos in Australia came mostly from Malta rather than Sicily since the Ballacchino spelling is so prevalent in Italy. Australian Baldacchinos are clustered in the vicinity of Australia’s major cities along the coast, with Greater Melbourne in Victoria the preference of almost half of all Baldacchinos in the country.
