"da Vinci" simply means "from Vinci" (his place of birth) and was not a family name.

It also cites Marissa De Simone Day, Director of Exhibits and Learning at The Leonardo Museum of Creativity and Innovation [...] part of the creation of their outstanding Flight exhibit. [...] “as far as we know, the quote originated in the script of an educational film by John Secondari which is titled I, Leonardo da Vinci. The script is inspired by Leonardo’s notes in his codexes and narrated as though by Leonardo.” and includes some info on how "would return" morphed to "long to return". | |
