Origin
Meaning and origin of Angioletti
The surname Angioletti originated in Italy, specifically in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, during the medieval period. It derives from the Italian word "angelo," meaning "angel," and the diminutive suffix "-etti," suggesting a connection to someone with an angelic or heavenly demeanor.
One of the earliest references to the name can be found in the records of Florence, dating back to the 13th century. The name may have been initially bestowed upon an individual known for their kind and virtuous nature, perhaps a member of the clergy or someone associated with the church.
In the 14th century, the name Angioletti appeared in the Catasto, a tax record compiled in Florence, indicating the presence of families bearing this surname in the city during that time. One notable individual was Luca Angioletti, a Florentine merchant who lived from around 1330 to 1395.
As the name spread across Italy, variations in spelling emerged, such as Angeletti, Angelotti, and Angiolini. These variations often reflected regional dialects and local adaptations of the name.
In the 16th century, the Angioletti family established itself in the town of Sassuolo, in the province of Modena, Emilia-Romagna. Girolamo Angioletti, born around 1520, was a prominent member of this branch and served as a magistrate in the local government.
During the Renaissance period, the name Angioletti was also associated with the arts. Baccio Angioletti, born in Florence around 1490, was a skilled sculptor and architect who contributed to the decoration of several churches in his hometown.
In the 19th century, Giuseppe Angioletti, born in 1835 in Modena, gained recognition as a renowned painter and art critic. His works were exhibited in various galleries throughout Italy, and he wrote extensively on the subject of art and aesthetics.
Another notable figure with this surname was Carlo Angioletti, born in 1913 in Genoa. He was a celebrated journalist and author, known for his insightful writings on Italian culture and society. His works, such as "Il Genovese" (1964), offered valuable insights into the lives and customs of the people of Genoa.
Throughout history, the surname Angioletti has been carried by individuals from diverse backgrounds, ranging from merchants and public servants to artists and intellectuals, all united by their connection to the angelic connotation of the name.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Angioletti surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
