The history of the last name Abramo

The surname ABRAMO is of Italian origin and can be traced back to the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Hebrew name "Abraham", which means "father of many" or "father of multitudes". The name Abraham has its roots in the biblical figure Abraham, the patriarch of the Israelites and a significant figure in the Abrahamic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

The ABRAMO surname is most commonly found in southern Italy, particularly in regions such as Calabria, Campania, and Sicily. It is believed to have been adopted by Italian families who either had Jewish ancestry or were converts to Christianity from Judaism during the Middle Ages and the Renaissance period.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the ABRAMO surname can be found in the "Codice Diplomatico Barese", a collection of medieval documents from the city of Bari in southern Italy, dating back to the 11th century. This suggests that the name was already in use among Italian families during this time period.

In the 13th century, a notable figure with the surname ABRAMO was Abramino da Gubbio, an Italian architect and sculptor who worked on several churches and buildings in the town of Gubbio in the Umbria region of central Italy.

During the Renaissance, the ABRAMO surname was also found among Jewish communities in Italy. One prominent individual was Abramo Colorni (1544-1599), a Jewish physician and philosopher from Mantua, who wrote extensively on medicine and Jewish theology.

Another notable figure was Abramo Massalongo (1824-1860), an Italian botanist and mycologist from Verona. He made significant contributions to the study of fungi and published several works on the subject.

In the 19th century, Abramo Basevi (1818-1885) was an Italian architect and engineer who was involved in the construction of several notable buildings in Florence, including the Synagogue of Florence and the Basilica of Santa Croce.

More recently, Abramo Lincoln Capone (1899-1924) was an Italian-American gangster and the eldest son of the infamous crime boss Al Capone. Despite sharing a first name with the 16th President of the United States, his surname ABRAMO reflects his Italian heritage.
