The history of the last name Aurioles

The surname "AURIOLES" is believed to have originated in France, specifically in the southern region of Occitanie, during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Old Occitan word "auriòla," which means "small golden object" or "gilded object." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who worked with gold or gilded items, such as a goldsmith or a craftsman.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulaire de Marseille, a medieval manuscript dating back to the 12th century. In this document, a certain "Petrus de Auriolis" is mentioned as a witness to a legal transaction. This indicates that the name was already in use during that time period.

Another notable reference to the name is found in the Livre des Privilèges de la Ville de Marseille, a compilation of municipal records from the 13th century. Here, a certain "Raimundus Aurioles" is listed as a member of the city council in 1265.

In the 14th century, a prominent figure bearing the name "AURIOLES" was Guillaume Aurioles, a merchant and landowner from the town of Arles. He is mentioned in several local records and is believed to have played an influential role in the region's trade and economy.

During the 16th century, a notable individual named Jean Aurioles (1520-1587) was a renowned artist and sculptor from the city of Avignon. His works, which often featured intricate gilded details, can still be found in various churches and museums throughout southern France.

Another significant figure was François Aurioles (1645-1717), a Jesuit priest and scholar who was born in Marseille. He gained recognition for his writings on theology and philosophy, and his works were widely circulated throughout Europe during his lifetime.

Over the centuries, the name "AURIOLES" has also been associated with several place names in southern France, such as the village of Les Auriols in the department of Gard, and the hamlet of Auriolles in the department of Vaucluse. These place names likely derived from the surname itself or vice versa, reflecting the presence of families bearing this name in those areas.
