Where Does The Surname Troia Originate?

Is it German, Turkish, Greek, Jewish or Italian. I can trace my family back to the mid 1500's in Carini, Palermo, Sicily, Italy. It is previously the mid 1500's that I'm trying to figure out. I saw a coat of arms for the name Troia with 2 stars of David contained by them, does that mean anything.

Actually the surname Troia has two possible origins. It can be of Italian origin. In Italy it is considered as a habitational given name that comes from the a place called Troia in the Foggia Province. Or can be a nickname from the word Troia that routine to sow.
As a second option, it could also have originated from Portuguese where on earth there is a place called Tr'oia.
