The history of the last name Arnaudo

The surname Arnaudo originated in Italy, specifically in the northwestern regions of Piedmont and Liguria. It is believed to have derived from the Germanic personal name Arnald or Arnaldo, which means "rules like an eagle." This name was introduced to Italy during the Barbarian invasions in the 5th and 6th centuries.

The earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the 11th century in various legal and ecclesiastical documents from the region. One notable example is a certain Arnaldo de Ceva, who was mentioned in a charter from the year 1081 as a landowner in the town of Ceva, located in the province of Cuneo, Piedmont.

In the 12th century, the name appeared in the form of "Arnaudus" in a cartulary from the Abbey of San Solutore in Turin. This document included references to individuals with the surname, such as Oberto Arnaudus and Guglielmo Arnaudus, who were members of prominent local families.

During the 13th century, the name was spelled in various ways, including "Arnaldi," "Arnaldo," and "Arnaut." One notable figure from this period was Giacomo Arnaldi, a merchant from Genoa who was involved in trade with the Byzantine Empire.

The 14th century saw the emergence of several notable individuals bearing the surname Arnaudo. One of them was Pietro Arnaudo, a jurist and legal scholar from Savona, who served as a counselor to the Republic of Genoa in the late 1300s.

In the 15th century, the name gained prominence in the region of Piedmont, where it was associated with several noble families. One such family was the Arnaudo di Castellamonte, who held lands and titles in the town of Castellamonte, near Turin. Francesco Arnaudo, born in 1432, was a member of this family and served as a military commander in the service of the Duchy of Savoy.

As the centuries progressed, the surname Arnaudo continued to be found throughout northwestern Italy, particularly in the regions of Piedmont, Liguria, and neighboring areas. Notable figures from later periods include Bartolomeo Arnaudo, a prominent architect from Cuneo who lived in the late 16th century, and Cesare Arnaudo, a lawyer and politician from Turin who served as a deputy in the Parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia in the mid-19th century.
