Bossi is a surname native to the Lombardy region of Italy, particularly in Milan. Variations include Bosio and Boselli, the former being among the original derivations of "Bossi" and the latter being a common variation of Italian names. Also, Bossy and Bossie are two etymologically related forms found in French-speaking regions as well as in the United States. The coat of arms and family standard are of a bovine bull with the Latin phrase "In Domino Confido", which translates as "In God I trust". Etymologically, the name appears to be derived from two possible words. Boxwood—a prized wood historically used for landscaping or crafting—is ''Bosso'' (singular) or ''Bossi'' (plural) in Italian.〔(History of Castello di Bossi )〕 Alternately, the name may also be derived from the plural of the genus ''Bos'', which consists of both wild and domestic cattle. This possible relationship is reinforced by the bull on the coat of arms and family standard. == People == The surname can refer to the following people: * Benigno Bossi (1727-c. 1800), Italian engraver, painter, and stucco artist. * Carmelo Bossi (born 1939), Italian boxer * Costante Adolfo Bossi (1876–1953), Italian organist for the Milan Cathedral * David N.
