One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Abbinante can be found in the historical records of the city of Naples, where a certain Gianpietro Abbinante was mentioned as a merchant in the year 1476. This suggests that the Abbinante family had already established itself as a respected lineage in the region by the late 15th century.

In the 16th century, the Abbinante surname appeared in various documents related to the town of Caserta, located in the province of Caserta, Campania. It is possible that the name may have originated from a place name or a descriptive nickname associated with the local area or its inhabitants.

Notable individuals from this period include Girolamo Abbinante (1625-1698), a renowned jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the city of Naples.

In the 18th century, the Abbinante name gained further prominence with the birth of Domenico Abbinante (1744-1819), a highly esteemed painter and artist from the town of Altomonte, Calabria.
