De Felice, Emidio.  Dizionario dei cognomi italiani, 1997, Arnoldo 
Mondadori, Editor, ISBN 88-04-42791-4, s.n. Brescia. Deravati: 
Bresciano, et.al.  "...è formato dal nome della città lombarda 
Brescia e dall'etnico Bresciano (nelle varianti settentronale Bressa 
e Bresciano, Bressan).  In alcuni casi, in Lombardia, Bressi e 
Bressani possono anche essere formati dai toponimi Bresso e Bressana 
Bottarone.

"...it is formed from the name of the Lombardic city Brescia and 
from the ethnic Bresciano (in varying the northern Bressa and 
Bresciano, Bressan). In some cases, in Lombardy, Bressi and Bressani 
can also be a form from the place names Bresso and Bressana 
Bottarone."
