The history of the last name Addario

The surname ADDARIO originated in Italy, specifically in the southern regions of Calabria and Sicily. Its roots can be traced back to the 15th century.

The name ADDARIO is believed to have derived from the Italian word "addario," which referred to a person who worked with or cultivated olive trees. It may have also stemmed from the Latin term "ad aria," meaning "in the open air," perhaps indicating an occupation related to outdoor labor or agriculture.

Historical records from the 16th century show the name being spelled in various ways, such as Addario, Addarii, and Addari. One of the earliest documented instances of the surname ADDARIO dates back to 1520, when a certain Giovanni Addario was mentioned in a land registry in the town of Reggio Calabria.

In the 17th century, the ADDARIO name appeared in several municipal records and census documents in the Sicilian towns of Palermo and Messina. Notable individuals bearing this surname during this period include Francesco Addario, a merchant from Palermo (born in 1639), and Vincenzo Addario, a landowner from Messina (born in 1672).

The 18th century saw the ADDARIO family establishing roots in other parts of Italy, such as Naples and Rome. One prominent figure was Giuseppe Addario, a lawyer and political thinker from Naples (1718-1792), who wrote extensively on the principles of constitutional monarchy.

As the ADDARIO name spread across Italy, it also found its way to other parts of Europe and the Americas through immigration. In the late 19th century, Antonio Addario (1856-1932) emigrated from Sicily to Argentina, where he became a successful businessman and landowner.

Another notable figure was Maria Addario (1888-1972), a Calabrian-born opera singer who performed in various theaters across Europe and the United States in the early 20th century.

Other historical figures with the surname ADDARIO include Salvatore Addario (1901-1986), an Italian-American artist and sculptor based in New York City, and Enrico Addario (1920-2005), a renowned Italian architect and urban planner who contributed to the reconstruction of several Italian cities after World War II.
