The history of the last name Adubato

The surname "ADUBATO" has its origins in Italy, particularly in the regions of Campania and Puglia. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "adubbare," which means "to arm" or "to equip." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who worked as an armorer or a person responsible for equipping soldiers or knights with weapons and armor.

In the early medieval period, surnames were often derived from occupations, and the name "ADUBATO" likely emerged during this time when it became necessary to distinguish individuals by their trade or profession. The earliest recorded instances of this surname can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries in various historical documents from southern Italy.

One notable mention of the name "ADUBATO" can be found in the records of the Kingdom of Naples during the 15th century. These records indicate that a family bearing this surname held land and property in the region, suggesting they were of noble or affluent status.

In the 16th century, the name appears in the registers of the Archdiocese of Salerno, where several individuals with the surname "ADUBATO" are listed as residents of the town of Amalfi. This town was known for its skilled craftsmen and maritime trade, further reinforcing the potential connection between the name and the occupation of armorers or weapon-makers.

Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals who carried the surname "ADUBATO." One such person was Girolamo Adubato, a prominent jurist and legal scholar who lived in Naples during the 16th century (c. 1520 - 1590). Another was Pietro Adubato, a renowned painter from the city of Bari in the 17th century (c. 1610 - 1692), known for his religious artwork and frescoes adorning churches in the region.

In the 18th century, the name appears in records from the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, where a military officer named Giuseppe Adubato (c. 1745 - 1815) is mentioned for his service in the Napoleonic Wars. Additionally, a wealthy merchant named Antonio Adubato (c. 1770 - 1840) from the city of Salerno is recorded as having established a successful trading company that exported goods throughout the Mediterranean.
