The history of the last name Buratto

The surname Buratto originated in Italy, specifically in the northern regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Its roots can be traced back to the late Middle Ages, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is believed to derive from the Italian word "buratto," which means a type of coarse cloth or sieve used for sifting flour or other grains. This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a occupation or trade involving the production or use of such material.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Buratto surname can be found in a document from the city of Padua, dated 1328, which mentions a certain "Bartolomeo Buratto." Another early reference is a record from the town of Pordenone in Friuli, where a "Pietro Buratto" is mentioned in a document from 1402.

During the Renaissance period, the Buratto name appears in various historical records and manuscripts from the Venetian Republic and its surrounding territories. For instance, a certain "Giovanni Buratto" was a prominent merchant from Venice who lived in the late 15th century and is mentioned in several trade documents from that era.

The name also has connections to certain place names in the region. For example, there is a small village called "Buratto" located near the town of Vittorio Veneto in the province of Treviso, which may have derived its name from the surname or vice versa.
