The name is believed to derive from the Latin word "augellus," which means "little bird." This suggests that the name may have initially been a nickname or descriptive name for someone who perhaps resembled a bird in some way or had a particular affinity for birds.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Augello can be found in a manuscript dated 1298, which mentions a certain Guglielmo Augello, a landowner from the town of Palermo. This suggests that the name had already become established in Sicily by the late 13th century.

In the 16th century, the Augello family produced a notable figure named Vincenzo Augello (1510-1582), who was a renowned lawyer and jurist from the town of Messina. His legal treatises and works on Sicilian law were widely respected and influential during his time.

Another prominent individual with the surname Augello was Francesco Augello (1638-1716), a Baroque-era painter from Palermo. He is best known for his religious paintings and frescoes that adorned various churches and palaces throughout Sicily.

The surname Augello also has a connection to the town of Agrigento, as evidenced by the mention of a certain Gaspare Augello in a land registry from 1712. This Gaspare Augello was a landowner and farmer from the area.

In more recent centuries, one notable figure was Giuseppe Augello (1833-1912), a Sicilian politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Italian Parliament in the late 19th century, representing the city of Caltanissetta.
