The history of the last name Ciarleglio

The surname Ciarleglio originates from Italy, specifically from the southern region of Campania, where it is believed to have emerged in the late medieval period around the 13th or 14th century. It is thought to be derived from the Italian words "ciarle" meaning "chatter" or "gossip" and "glio" which is a common suffix used in Italian surnames, often indicating a profession or characteristic.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ciarleglio can be found in a historical document from the city of Naples, dated around 1430. This document mentions a certain Giovanni Ciarleglio, who was a merchant and landowner in the region. The name is also found in various tax records and property deeds from the 15th and 16th centuries, suggesting that the Ciarleglio family had established itself as a prominent and influential family in the Campania region during that time.

In the 17th century, the Ciarleglio name appeared in the records of the Archivio di Stato di Napoli (State Archives of Naples), which contain a wealth of information about the noble families of the region. One notable member of the Ciarleglio family was Antonio Ciarleglio (1625-1697), who was a respected lawyer and judge in Naples.

During the 18th century, the Ciarleglio family continued to be well-established in the Campania region, with several members holding prominent positions in the local government and legal system. One such individual was Domenico Ciarleglio (1735-1812), who was a renowned magistrate and legal scholar.

As the centuries passed, the Ciarleglio name spread beyond the borders of Campania, with members of the family migrating to other parts of Italy and even further afield. In the late 19th century, a significant number of Ciarlegraves immigrated to the United States, seeking new opportunities and a better life. One notable American of Ciarleglio descent was Joseph Ciarleglio (1892-1976), a successful businessman and community leader in New York City.

Throughout its long history, the surname Ciarleglio has been associated with various professions and pursuits, including law, commerce, and public service. While the name may have evolved slightly over time, with variations in spelling, its roots can be traced back to the medieval Italian region of Campania, where the Ciarleglio family left an indelible mark on the local history and culture.
