Wikipedia's not wrong, although I have to add Savoia origins are in fact partially still not sure.
After Italy became a Republci in 1946 and till a few years ago, male descendant weren't allowed to came to Italy, now the exile is over. Anyway, Vittorio Emanuele is currently not having so much fun...
"The house descended from Humbert I, Count of Sabaudia (or "Maurienne")/ Umberto I "Biancamano"), (1003–1047 or 1048), and includes the Counts of Savoy, the Dukes of Savoy, the Kings of Sardinia, and the Kings of Italy. Piedmont was later joined with Sabaudia, and the name evolved into "Savoy" (Italian "Savoia")."
"The House of Savoy has held two dynastic orders since 1434, which were brought into the Kingdom of Italy as national orders. Although the Kingdom of Italy ceased to exist in 1946, King Umberto II did not abdicate his role as fons honorum over the two dynastic orders over which the family has long held sovereignty and grand mastership. The following are the dynastic orders of the Royal House of Savoy. Today, HRH Victor Emmanuel, Prince of Naples is hereditary Sovereign and Grand Master of these orders."
"The House of Savoy or in Italian, "La Casa di Savoia," or simply Casa Savoia, (or "Savoie", French) is a dynasty of nobles who traditionally had their domain in Kingdom of Sardinia, a State which, in 1860, became the Kingdom of Italy. Thus, the house was the Italian reigning house until 1946."

I think it's Norman French. Savoy is another form of the name.
Those tasty little ladyfinger cookie things in tiramisu are called "savoiardi," that name comes from the Savoia family as well. Just a bit of trivia.
