The history of the last name Abbonizio

The surname Abbonizio hails from the Italian region of Campania, specifically from the province of Salerno. Its origins can be traced back to the 13th century, when it was first recorded in official documents as a family name. Abbonizio is believed to derive from the Latin term "Abundius," which translates to "abundant" or "plentiful."

The earliest known record of the name Abbonizio appears in a medieval manuscript dated 1268, which lists a certain Guglielmo Abbonizio as a landowner in the town of Vietri sul Mare. This suggests that the Abbonizio family had already established itself as a prominent clan in the Salerno area by that time.

In the 14th century, the name Abbonizio can be found in several historical records from the Kingdom of Naples. One notable example is a 1352 document that mentions a certain Giovanni Abbonizio, a merchant and ship-owner from the coastal town of Amalfi.

The 15th century saw the emergence of a distinguished Abbonizio family in Positano, a picturesque village on the Amalfi Coast. Among its members was Antonino Abbonizio (1425-1497), a renowned seafarer and navigator who participated in several voyages to the Levant and the Black Sea.

Another prominent figure bearing the Abbonizio surname was Vincenzo Abbonizio (1571-1638), a scholar and humanist from Salerno. He authored several works on philosophy and literature and was highly regarded in the intellectual circles of his time.

In the 18th century, the Abbonizio family expanded its influence to the city of Naples itself. One of its most illustrious members was Gaetano Abbonizio (1711-1789), a renowned jurist and legal scholar who served as a magistrate in the Neapolitan court system.

While the Abbonizio surname is primarily associated with the Campania region, it has also been documented in other parts of Italy over the centuries, such as Calabria and Sicily. However, its strongest historical ties remain with the Salerno province and the Amalfi Coast, where it has been a fixture for over seven centuries.
