The surname Alberico is of Italian origin, derived from the personal name Alberigo, which itself is derived from the Germanic name Alberich. The name Alberich is composed of the elements "alb" meaning "elf" and "ric" meaning "ruler" or "power". It is believed to have originated in the medieval period, possibly as early as the 9th century.

The name Alberico is thought to have first appeared in historical records in the 11th century, particularly in the regions of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna in northern Italy. It is likely that the name was initially associated with individuals of Germanic descent or influence in these areas.

Another notable figure was Alberico Gentili (1552-1608), an Italian jurist and legal scholar who made important contributions to the development of international law. He was born in San Ginesio, in the Marche region of Italy, and spent much of his career in England.

In the realm of literature, Alberico Archinto (1617-1699) was an Italian poet and playwright from Milan. He is best known for his works in the Milanese dialect, including the comedy "El Pover Rantoled" (The Poor Little Toad).

Moving to the field of art, Alberico Luzi (1638-1719) was an Italian painter from Bologna, known for his works in the Baroque style. He was a prominent member of the Accademia Clementina, an important art academy in Bologna.
