This name has its roots in the Aramaic language and was popular among early Christians.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Bartolo can be found in a document from the city of Genoa in 1285, referring to a certain Nicolò Bartolo. The name was particularly prevalent in various regions of Italy, including Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio.

His works on Roman law greatly influenced legal thought during the Renaissance period.

In the 15th century, the name appears in records from the city of Florence, with a certain Bartolomeo di Bartolo (c. 1430-1501) being a notable Florentine painter and miniaturist. His works can still be found in various churches and museums across Italy.

Another significant figure was Giovanni Bartolo (c. 1545-1623), an Italian composer and organist from Palermo, Sicily. He contributed to the development of early Baroque music and served as the organist at the Palermo Cathedral.

During the 17th century, the Bartolo surname was also found in the Kingdom of Naples. Alessandro Bartolo (1635-1700) was a Neapolitan architect and engineer who designed several important buildings, including the Palazzo Reale di Napoli.

In the 19th century, Domenico Bartolo (1818-1892) was a prominent Italian painter from Palermo, known for his historical and religious works. His paintings can be found in various churches and galleries throughout Sicily.
