The history of the last name Angi

The surname ANGI is believed to have originated in Italy during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Latin word "angulus," which means "corner" or "angle." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived on a corner or at an angle in a village or town.

The earliest known record of the name ANGI can be found in a medieval manuscript from the 13th century, where a person named Giovanni Angi is mentioned as a landowner in the region of Tuscany. The name was also present in the city records of Florence from the 14th century, indicating that it was well-established in that area.

One of the earliest notable individuals with the surname ANGI was Guido Angi, a wealthy merchant and banker who lived in Siena during the late 15th century. He was involved in financing several important architectural projects in the city, including the construction of the Piccolomini Library in the Siena Cathedral.

In the 16th century, the name ANGI appeared in various documents related to the Italian Renaissance. For example, a painter named Battista Angi was commissioned to create frescoes in several churches in Rome, although little is known about his specific dates of birth and death.

Another prominent figure with the surname ANGI was Pietro Angi, a 17th-century philosopher and theologian from Naples. He wrote extensively on topics such as metaphysics and natural theology, and his works were widely read throughout Europe during his lifetime (c. 1620-1690).

During the 18th century, the ANGI surname spread beyond Italy to other parts of Europe, particularly France and Spain. One notable individual from this period was Francisco Angi, a Spanish military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars (c. 1780-1850).

In the 19th century, the name ANGI was also found in various parts of the Americas, likely due to Italian immigration. One example is José Angi, a Cuban poet and writer who was born in Havana in 1835 and became known for his romantic and patriotic verses.
