Origin
Meaning and origin of Beltramini
The surname Beltramini is of Italian origin, derived from the medieval given name Beltramo, which itself originated from the Germanic name Bertram or Bertrand, meaning "bright raven." This surname is associated with the Veneto region of northeastern Italy, particularly the provinces of Vicenza, Verona, and Treviso.
The earliest recorded instances of the Beltramini surname can be traced back to the 14th century in various archival records and historical documents from the Veneto area. One notable example is the mention of a certain Gasparo Beltramini in the records of the Commune of Vicenza, dated 1387.
In the 15th century, the Beltramini family is documented as residing in the town of Sossano, near Vicenza. This is evidenced by a land registry from 1427, which lists several members of the Beltramini clan as landowners in the area.
The surname Beltramini has also been associated with the noble Venetian family of the same name, who held considerable influence and wealth during the Renaissance era. One prominent member was Nicolò Beltramini (1497-1565), a renowned jurist and diplomat who served as the Venetian ambassador to the Holy Roman Empire and the Republic of Florence.
Another notable figure bearing the Beltramini surname was Girolamo Beltramini (1558-1629), a Venetian architect and engineer who was instrumental in the construction of several churches and palaces in the Veneto region, including the Church of Santa Maria della Salute in Venice.
In the 18th century, the Beltramini family produced several accomplished scholars and writers. Among them was Antonio Beltramini (1703-1784), a Jesuit priest and linguist who authored numerous works on Latin and Greek literature.
The Beltramini surname has also been associated with various place names in the Veneto region, such as Beltramini di Monteforte d'Alpone and Beltramini di Montebello Vicentino, which were likely derived from the family's historical presence in those areas.
Throughout its history, the Beltramini surname has been subject to various spelling variations, including Beltramin, Beltramino, and Beltraminelli, reflecting the linguistic diversity and regional variations within Italy.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Beltramini surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
