The history of the last name Augare

The surname "Augare" is believed to have originated in the regions of northern Italy during the medieval period, likely emerging sometime between the 11th and 13th centuries. It is thought to be derived from the Latin word "augur," which referred to a religious official or soothsayer who practiced the ancient Roman tradition of interpreting omens and divining the future through the observation of natural phenomena.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a collection of municipal records from the city of Verona, dating back to the late 12th century. These documents mention an individual named "Bartolomeo Augare," who is believed to have been a local merchant or tradesman. Another early reference comes from a 13th-century manuscript housed in the Biblioteca Nazionale Centrale in Florence, which contains a list of names that includes "Giovanni Augare."

As the name spread throughout the Italian peninsula, it took on various spellings and regional variations, such as "Augari," "Augaro," and "Augarelli." In the 14th century, the name appears in several administrative documents from the city of Bologna, including references to a family of artisans and craftsmen known as the "Augari."

One notable figure associated with the name "Augare" was Francesco Augare, a 15th-century Venetian diplomat and political advisor who served as an ambassador to several European courts. His name is mentioned in various diplomatic correspondence and historical accounts of the time.

Another individual of note was Girolamo Augare, a 16th-century scholar and humanist who taught at the University of Padua. He was known for his contributions to the fields of classical literature and philosophy.

In the 17th century, the name "Augare" gained some prominence in the city of Milan, where a family of that name was involved in the textile trade and held positions of influence within the local guild system. One member of this family, Giovanni Battista Augare (1623-1692), is recorded as having served as the head of the Milanese silk merchants' guild.

As the name spread beyond Italy, it took on various forms in other languages and cultures. For example, in France, the surname became "Augaire," while in Spain, it evolved into "Augar" or "Auguer."

Throughout its history, the surname "Augare" has maintained a connection to its ancient Roman roots, serving as a reminder of the enduring influence of classical culture and traditions on the development of European societies and naming practices.
