Muscat or Moscati is the surname of an important Maltese Noble family.
Malta is unique in that it has had some form of nobility from very ancient times. Indeed, this little island had a highly developed civilization when the lands of the
British Empire were unknown and when Britain itself had not yet emerged from barbarism. Maltese nobility as it exists today was founded by Count Roger of Normandy in 1090
when he liberated Malta from Arab rule and it became part of the Kingdom of Sicily.
The surname appears to be of local origin, being one of those names derived from the place where a man once lived
or where he once held land. In this instance, it would denote a former resident of Muscat, the capital of the Oman
which is known to have existed as an independent emirate before the tenth century. Thus, the name would have been brought to Malta by the Arabs.
Alternatively, the name may be of occupational origin, being one of those names derived from the type of work a man once did or the profession he once pursued.
In this instance, the name would signify a person who grew muscat grapes in order to produce wine.
