] is the surname moreno really came from spain/portugal or italy?

I don't have here my Italian dictionary, but I suppose it could have
its origin in all the three countries. In Spain for sure there are a
lot of Morenos. The meaning is "dark colored" referred to the skin or
hair of a person.

nacionalidad se ve no como algo que defina a uno, sino
como una característica accidental, como el color de los
ojos.
