The history of the last name Baiocco

The surname Baiocco originated in Italy during the medieval period. It is derived from the Italian word "baiocco," which was a type of small copper coin used in various Italian states from the 13th to the 19th centuries. The name likely referred to someone who worked as a minter or dealer of these coins.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Baiocco can be found in the historical records of the city of Genoa, where a certain Giovanni Baiocco was documented as a merchant in the 14th century. The name also appears in the archives of Florence, where a family called Baiocchi was prominent in the 15th and 16th centuries.

In the 16th century, a notable figure bearing the surname Baiocco was Gian Battista Baiocco, an Italian painter and engraver who was active in Rome during the late Renaissance. He was born in the town of Marino, near Rome, in 1510 and died in Rome in 1592.

Another notable individual with the surname Baiocco was Girolamo Baiocco, an Italian architect and engineer who lived in the 17th century. He was responsible for the design and construction of several important buildings and fortifications in various parts of Italy, including the Palazzo Farnese in Piacenza.

In the 18th century, there was a famous Italian composer and violinist named Giuseppe Baiocco, who was born in Naples in 1723 and died in 1804. He composed numerous operas and instrumental works that were performed throughout Italy during his lifetime.

The surname Baiocco can also be traced back to certain place names in Italy, such as the town of Baiocco in the province of Perugia, Umbria. This town likely derived its name from the same root as the surname, possibly referring to a local mint or coin-making industry.

Throughout the centuries, the spelling of the surname has varied slightly, with variations such as Baiocchi, Baiochi, and Bajocco appearing in historical records. However, the core meaning and origin of the name have remained consistent, rooted in the Italian word for a small copper coin.
