The history of the last name Armanino

The surname Armanino has its origins in Italy, tracing back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated in the northwestern region of Liguria, particularly in the areas around Genoa and Savona.

The name Armanino is derived from the Germanic personal name "Armann," which means "army man" or "soldier." This suggests that the earliest bearers of the name may have been individuals involved in military service or had some connection to the armed forces.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Armanino can be found in the 12th century cartulary of the Benedictine monastery of San Siro in Genoa. This document mentions a certain "Armanino de Castelleto," indicating that the name was present in the area during that time.

In the 13th century, the name appears in the records of the Republic of Genoa, with mentions of several individuals bearing the surname Armanino. One notable example is Giovanni Armanino, a merchant and diplomat who served as the Genoese ambassador to the Kingdom of Aragon in 1264.

During the Renaissance period, the Armanino family gained prominence in the city of Savona. In the 16th century, Agostino Armanino (1506-1582) was a renowned physician and philosopher who authored several works on medicine and natural philosophy.

Another notable figure from this family was Girolamo Armanino (1551-1625), a Jesuit priest and scholar who served as the rector of the Collegio Romano in Rome and authored several theological treatises.

In the 17th century, Francesco Armanino (1612-1678) was a respected jurist and legal scholar who held the position of magistrate in Genoa and authored several works on civil and canon law.

The Armanino surname also has a presence in other parts of Italy, such as the region of Piedmont, where a branch of the family settled in the city of Turin. One notable individual from this branch was Giovanni Battista Armanino (1768-1825), a painter and engraver who specialized in religious and historical subjects.
