- The meaning of the name Battaglia could be interpreted as meaning "to battle" or "fight"; a positive interpretation could be "reluctant, steadfast", or negatively interpreted as being "quarrelsome". The evidence shows that the first naturalization of the Battaglia name in the Graub?nden municipalities was in the 14th century, first in Pr?sanz (Oberhalbstein), then later in Almens, Berg?n, Feldis/Veulden, Malix, Scharans, Salux, Scheid, Trans, Tumegl/Tomils, Zizers and Zuoz. The origins of the family name Battaglia most likely comes from an Italian language region; possibly from the Republic of Venice (Italian: Repubblica di Venezia), which was a state originating from the city of Venice in Northeastern Italy. It existed for over a millennium, from the late 7th century until 1797.
