One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Arduini can be found in the Florentine Renaissance artist, Niccolò di Pietro Gerini, also known as Niccolò Arduini (c. 1350-1427).

In the 16th century, Giovanni Battista Arduini (c. 1550-1624) was a renowned Italian physician and botanist from Padua. He was a professor of medicine at the University of Padua and made significant contributions to the study of plant life, publishing several works on the subject.

During the 18th century, Giovanni Arduini (1714-1780) was an Italian physician and naturalist from Padua. He is particularly remembered for his work on the classification of plants and his contributions to the field of entomology.
