It is thought to be derived from the Italian phrase "chi rum bolo," which roughly translates to "one who rumbles or makes a loud noise." This suggests that the name may have been given as a nickname or distinguishing feature to someone who was particularly boisterous or had a loud voice.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the CHIRUMBOLO name can be found in a 14th-century Florentine tax register, which lists a certain "Giovanni Chirumbolo" as a resident of the city. This document provides valuable insight into the name's early use and distribution within the region.

Her intricate creations were highly sought after by the wealthy and noble classes, and her legacy as a master craftsperson has been documented in various historical accounts.

The CHIRUMBOLO name also appears in several religious records from the 17th and 18th centuries. For instance, a Franciscan friar named Paolo CHIRUMBOLO was known for his charitable work and dedication to the poor in the town of Siena during the late 1600s.

In the 19th century, a family of CHIRUMBOLO winemakers established a successful vineyard in the Chianti region of Tuscany. Their wines were highly regarded and exported throughout Europe, earning them a respected reputation in the industry.

Another notable bearer of the CHIRUMBOLO name was Giuseppe CHIRUMBOLO, a renowned sculptor born in Naples in 1821. His works were exhibited in various galleries across Italy and received critical acclaim for their intricate details and mastery of form.

Over the centuries, the CHIRUMBOLO surname has also been associated with various place names and geographical locations within Italy. For example, there is a small village called Chirumbolo in the province of Pisa, which may have contributed to the name's dissemination and variations in spelling.
