The surname ALATI is believed to have originated in Italy, with roots tracing back to the 14th century. It is thought to have derived from the Italian word "alato," meaning "winged" or "with wings." This suggests that the name may have been associated with occupations or characteristics related to birds or flight.

The earliest known record of the ALATI surname can be found in a document from the city of Venice, dated 1387, which mentions a merchant named Giovanni Alati. This indicates that the name was present in the northeastern region of Italy during the late Middle Ages.

In the 15th century, the name appears in several manuscripts from the city of Florence, including a tax record from 1472 that lists a landowner named Matteo Alati. This suggests that the ALATI family had gained prominence and wealth in the region of Tuscany during the Renaissance period.

One notable individual bearing the ALATI surname was Francesco Alati, a Italian painter and architect who lived from 1556 to 1624. He was known for his work on several churches and palaces in the city of Rome, including the Chiesa di San Sebastiano al Palatino and the Palazzo Alati-Buttafava.

In the 18th century, the ALATI name appears in records from the Kingdom of Naples, with a military officer named Antonio Alati (1712-1783) serving in the Neapolitan army during the reign of King Charles VII.
