The history of the last name Arpino

The surname Arpino is of Italian origin, specifically from the town of Arpino in the province of Frosinone, located in the Lazio region of central Italy. The name is believed to have derived from the Latin word "Arpinum," which was the ancient name of the town.

The town of Arpino has a rich history dating back to the Roman era, and it was the birthplace of several notable figures, including the Roman statesman and orator Marcus Tullius Cicero (106-43 BC) and his brother Quintus Tullius Cicero. The Arpino family name may have originated from individuals who hailed from this town or who had some connection to it.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Arpino surname can be found in the 13th century, when a nobleman named Arpino di Montefalcone is mentioned in historical documents from the town of Montefalcone, near Arpino. Another notable figure with this surname was Pietro Arpino (1568-1640), an Italian painter and architect of the Baroque period, who was born in Arpino and achieved fame for his work in Rome.

During the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the Arpino surname was associated with several artists and intellectuals, including Cavaliere d'Arpino (c. 1568-1640), an Italian painter who was a contemporary of Pietro Arpino and worked extensively in Rome; and Giulio Arpino (1588-1663), an Italian painter and architect who was also from the town of Arpino.

Other notable individuals with the Arpino surname include Giuseppe Arpino (1819-1898), an Italian politician and jurist who served as the Minister of Justice in the Kingdom of Italy; and Cesare Arpino (1909-1988), an Italian film producer and screenwriter who worked in the Italian cinema industry during the mid-20th century.

While the Arpino surname has its roots in the small town of Arpino, it has since spread to other parts of Italy and beyond, thanks to migration and the movement of people over the centuries. The name's connection to the ancient town and its historical figures has contributed to its enduring legacy and significance.
