The history of the last name Ciarlante

The surname CIARLANTE has its origins in Italy, specifically in the southern regions of the country. It is believed to have emerged during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is derived from the Italian word "ciarlare," which means "to chatter" or "to prattle." This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a nickname to someone who was known for being a talkative or chatty person.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the CIARLANTE surname can be found in historical documents from the city of Naples, dating back to the 16th century. These records mention a family of merchants and artisans bearing this name, indicating that the CIARLANTE name had already established itself in the region by that time.

In the 17th century, a renowned Italian philosopher and mathematician named Gian Domenico Ciarlante (1609-1670) gained recognition for his contributions to the field of mathematics. He was born in the town of Foligno, in the region of Umbria, and his works on geometry and calculus were highly regarded during his lifetime.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the CIARLANTE name appeared in various records and documents from different parts of southern Italy, particularly in the regions of Campania, Puglia, and Calabria. This suggests that the surname had spread across these areas, possibly due to migration or the establishment of new branches of the family.

In the early 20th century, a notable figure named Giuseppe Ciarlante (1888-1964) gained recognition as a prominent Italian journalist and writer. He was born in the town of Cerignola, in the Puglia region, and his works focused on social and political issues, often criticizing the fascist regime of Benito Mussolini.
