The history of the last name Cabano

The surname CABANO is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the region of Abruzzo. Its roots can be traced back to the early 14th century, when it was likely derived from the Italian word "cabana," which means "hut" or "cottage." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived in or worked in a small dwelling or shelter.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the CABANO surname can be found in a document from the town of Chieti, dated around 1330. This document mentions a certain "Nicolo Cabano," who was likely a resident of the area at that time. It's possible that this individual's occupation or living situation prompted the use of the surname, which later became established within his family lineage.

In the 15th century, there are records of a family with the CABANO surname residing in the town of Lanciano, located in the province of Chieti. One notable member of this family was Giovanni Cabano, who was born in 1428 and served as a local merchant and landowner. His descendants continued to use the CABANO surname, and it gradually spread to other parts of the region.

Another significant figure associated with the CABANO name was Pietro Cabano, a renowned artist and sculptor who lived in the city of L'Aquila during the late 16th century. Born in 1549, Pietro gained widespread recognition for his intricate woodcarvings and religious sculptures, many of which can still be found in churches and museums throughout Abruzzo.

In the 17th century, the CABANO surname was also present in the nearby region of Molise. Historical records from that time mention a Antonio Cabano, born in 1637, who was a notable landowner and farmer in the town of Campobasso. His descendants continued to carry the CABANO name for several generations.

As the centuries passed, the CABANO surname began to spread beyond the regions of Abruzzo and Molise, with families bearing this name appearing in various parts of Italy. One notable figure was Girolamo Cabano, a prominent lawyer and judge who lived in Naples during the late 18th century. Born in 1752, Girolamo was renowned for his legal expertise and played a significant role in shaping the judicial system of the Kingdom of Naples.
