The surname CASIO is believed to have originated in Italy during the medieval period. It is likely derived from the Latin word "casius," which means "gray" or "gray-haired." This suggests that the name may have initially been used as a nickname or descriptive term for someone with gray hair.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the CASIO surname can be found in the historical records of the city of Naples, Italy, dating back to the 12th century. These records mention a family with the name "Casio" residing in the city during that time.

In the 14th century, there are references to a notable figure named Giovanni Casio, who was a prominent scholar and philosopher from the city of Florence. He was born in 1325 and is known for his contributions to the study of logic and metaphysics.

The CASIO name also appears in various Italian manuscripts and documents from the Renaissance period, suggesting that it was a well-established surname in different regions of Italy during that time.

In the 16th century, a prominent family with the CASIO surname hailed from the town of Caserta, located near Naples. One member of this family, Antonio Casio, born in 1547, was a renowned artist and painter who specialized in religious works and frescoes.

Another notable figure with the CASIO surname was Giacomo Casio, who lived in the 17th century and was a respected architect and engineer. He was responsible for designing several iconic buildings and structures in Rome, including the Church of Sant'Andrea delle Fratte.

During the 18th century, the CASIO name was associated with a prominent Italian family from the city of Genoa. One of its members, Carlo Casio, born in 1732, was a successful merchant and trader who established a thriving business empire in the Mediterranean region.
