Bandi is surely a very rare surname in Malta. There are only a few families
with the surname in Malta. The coat of arm is also very curious. There is sort of an
orange hand on rocks. It significance is not known. Although it is a very
uncommon surname, there are still famous men.
The familiy name Bandi is not so rare in Switzerland. Especilally in the region of Bern it is quit common. At least one branch originates from the village of Oberwil bei Büren / BE. I know that several families from this village emigrated to the States in the 18th century. - If you would like to know more about it, I could possibly assist you.
