Tre moglie is Italian for "three wives."

Maybe Tremoglie's surname comes from an ancestor who had three wives...(one at a time, presumably).

My name does mean "three wives." The dean of my college told me it was derived from the Muslims who conquered Sicily (my ancestral homeland). They were allowed to marry four wive yet never more than three at one time.
