thumb| Faliero (), also encountered in the variants Faleiro, Faledro or Faletro, was the name of a Venetian patrician family.
==History== The family was one of the oldest in Venice, its history being lost in the myths surrounding the city's foundation at the end of Late Antiquity. According to the not very reliable 13th-century Chronicon Altinate, the family originally was called Anafesti, and haled from Fano, before moving to Padua and thence to Jesolo in the Venetian Lagoon as a result of Padua's fall to the Lombards. Other sources try to connect the Falieri with the Ordelaffi from Forli, and suggest a Lombard origin, but this is mostly speculation on the basis of the similarity of their names (Ordelaf being the anagram of Faledro).
