The history of the last name Ciccotelli

The surname Ciccotelli has its origins in Italy, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "ciccotto," which means "plump" or "chubby." This suggests that the name may have initially been used as a nickname or descriptive term for someone with a stocky build.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Ciccotelli can be found in historical documents from the region of Umbria, specifically in the town of Trevi, during the 14th century. The name appeared in various spellings, such as "Ciccotello" and "Ciccotelli," reflecting the variations common in record-keeping at the time.

In the 15th century, the Ciccotelli family gained prominence in the city of Perugia, with several members holding influential positions in the local government and ecclesiastical circles. Notably, Pier Francesco Ciccotelli (1460-1522) was a renowned scholar and theologian who served as a canon of the Perugia Cathedral.

As the Ciccotelli family dispersed throughout Italy over the centuries, the name appeared in various records and manuscripts. In the 16th century, a branch of the family settled in the region of Lazio, where Giovanni Battista Ciccotelli (1524-1591) was a respected architect who contributed to the design of several churches and palaces in Rome.

Moving forward to the 18th century, Antonio Maria Ciccotelli (1701-1773) was a well-known painter from Naples, renowned for his religious and mythological works that adorned numerous churches and private collections throughout southern Italy.

In the 19th century, the Ciccotelli name gained recognition in the field of literature with the writer and poet Vincenzo Ciccotelli (1826-1897), who was born in Perugia and published several collections of poetry and prose works that celebrated the rich cultural heritage of his native Umbria.

While the Ciccotelli surname has its roots in Italy, it has since spread to other parts of the world through migration and cultural exchange. However, the historical records and notable individuals mentioned above provide insight into the origins and evolution of this surname within its Italian context.
