The surname COLADONATO is believed to have originated in Italy, with the earliest records dating back to the 13th century. It is a combination of two words: "cola," which is a variant of the Italian name "Nicola" (derived from the Greek name "Nikolaos"), and "donato," meaning "given" or "gifted" in Italian.

One of the earliest known references to the name COLADONATO can be found in a 14th-century manuscript from the town of Abruzzo, located in central Italy. This document mentions a certain "Donato Cola," which is likely an early form of the surname.

In the 15th century, the name COLADONATO appears in several records from the city of Naples, indicating that the family may have had roots in the southern region of Campania. One notable individual from this time was Giovanni COLADONATO, a merchant who was involved in the trade of silk and spices between Naples and the Mediterranean ports.

During the Renaissance period, the COLADONATO family gained prominence in the arts and literature. In the 16th century, the poet and playwright Antonio COLADONATO (1520-1592) was celebrated for his works that explored themes of love and spirituality.

In the 18th century, the COLADONATO name was associated with the Italian Enlightenment movement. Giuseppe COLADONATO (1732-1805) was a renowned philosopher and educator who advocated for progressive social reforms and the advancement of scientific knowledge.

Another prominent figure was Maria COLADONATO (1856-1924), an Italian feminist and activist who fought for women's rights and suffrage in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. She was a notable figure in the Italian women's movement and helped pave the way for greater gender equality.

The COLADONATO surname has also been linked to several place names throughout Italy, including the town of Coladonato in the province of Benevento, and the village of Coladonati in the region of Abruzzo.
