The history of the last name Ambrosino

The surname Ambrosino has its roots in Italy, originating from the Latin name "Ambrosius," which means "immortal" or "divine." This name was derived from the Greek word "ambrotos," which translates to "immortal" or "of the immortals." The Ambrosino surname is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, particularly in the regions of Campania and Calabria in southern Italy.

One of the earliest recorded instances of this surname can be found in the historical records of Naples, where an individual named Giovanni Ambrosino was mentioned in a document dated 1412. This document, preserved in the archives of the city, suggests that the Ambrosino family had already established itself in the region by the early 15th century.

The Ambrosino surname is also linked to several notable figures throughout history. One of the most prominent individuals bearing this surname was Raffaele Ambrosino, a renowned Italian painter and architect who lived between 1617 and 1693. His works, including frescoes and architectural designs, can be found in various churches and buildings throughout Naples and its surrounding areas.

Another noteworthy individual was Giovan Battista Ambrosino, a prominent lawyer and jurist who lived in the 16th century. He was widely respected for his legal expertise and served as a judge in Naples. Records indicate that he played a significant role in shaping the legal system of the Kingdom of Naples during his lifetime.

In the 18th century, the Ambrosino surname gained further recognition with the birth of Nicola Ambrosino (1718-1792), a celebrated mathematician and astronomer. He made significant contributions to the field of celestial mechanics and was a member of the prestigious Accademia delle Scienze di Napoli (Academy of Sciences of Naples).

Another notable figure was Carlo Ambrosino (1842-1912), a Italian politician and statesman who served as a member of the Italian Parliament and held various ministerial positions during his career. He was instrumental in shaping the political landscape of Italy during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

While the Ambrosino surname has its origins in southern Italy, it has since spread to other regions of the country and beyond, carried by individuals and families who migrated to different parts of the world over the centuries.
