The history of the last name Casuccio

The surname Casuccio originates from Italy, specifically the island of Sicily. It is believed to have first emerged in the 11th or 12th century during the Norman conquest of the region. The name is derived from the Italian word "casa," meaning "house," and the diminutive suffix "-uccio," suggesting a small or modest dwelling.

One of the earliest known references to the Casuccio name can be found in the Catalogo dei Feudi e Riveli, a historical record of feudal lands and properties in Sicily compiled in the 16th century. This document lists several individuals bearing the Casuccio surname, indicating that the name was already well-established by that time.

In the late 16th century, a notable individual named Vincenzo Casuccio was a prominent figure in the city of Palermo. Born in 1550, he was a respected lawyer and jurist who played a significant role in the legal affairs of the Sicilian capital.

During the 17th century, the Casuccio family spread across various parts of Sicily. One prominent member was Giovanni Casuccio, a philosopher and theologian who lived from 1623 to 1701. He authored several works on theology and ethics and was highly regarded in academic circles.

In the 19th century, a man named Domenico Casuccio, born in 1815, gained recognition as a successful merchant and entrepreneur in the town of Messina. His business ventures contributed to the local economy and helped establish the Casuccio name as one of prominence in the region.

Another notable individual with the Casuccio surname was Antonio Casuccio, a renowned artist born in Palermo in 1872. He was celebrated for his skilled paintings depicting Sicilian landscapes and rural life. Many of his works can be found in museums and private collections across Italy and beyond.

While the Casuccio name has its roots in Sicily, it has since spread to other parts of Italy and beyond, carried by descendants of the original Sicilian families. The name's connection to the modest "casa" or house reflects the humble beginnings and resilience of those who bore it throughout history.
