Gauci
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gauci is a common surname that originated in Italy,[1] and is now found mainly in Malta due to the immigration (and also exile) of large numbers of people to Malta, although the name still appears in Italy.
Due to the large Maltese and Italian immigrations to Australia, the name is also frequently found there.
Approximately 0.0001% of the US population has this surname.[2]
