Gius is a surname that appears to be associated with Italy, specifically the Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol region that was annexed by Italy from Austria-Hungary in 1919.[1][2] Anecdotal evidence suggests that the native pronunciation of the surname was similar to "juice" and that at least one Americanization of the surname was pronounced "guy—us".[3]
The Gius surname is shared by several notable people:
- Julius Gius (1911–1996), American newspaper editor
- Nicole Gius (born 1980), Italian alpine skier
Distribution
The "Gius" surname has a small presence in both the United States and England based on historical census records. New York City passenger ship manifests from 1880 to 1891 indicate a slow trickle of immigration during the period punctuated by a many-fold spike in 1890. The US Census of 1880 shows a concentration of persons sharing the "Gius" surname in Pennsylvania and South Carolina.[4]. The contemporaneous 1891 Census of the United Kingdom shows a concentration of "Gaius" families in the county of Essex on the eastern coast of England.[5] Forty years later, in the US Census of 1920, a dispersal of the surname across fourteen states (including Alaska) had taken place.[6]
