Origin
Meaning and origin of Condoluci
The surname Condoluci has its origins in Italy, with roots dating back to the 13th century. It is believed to have originated from the Italian town of Condoianni, located in the province of Catanzaro, Calabria. The name Condoluci is a derivative of the town's name, with the suffix "uci" being a common patronymic denoting "son of" or "descendent of."
One of the earliest recorded instances of the Condoluci name can be found in a registry of landowners and taxpayers in the region of Calabria from the year 1283. This document lists several individuals bearing the Condoluci surname, indicating that the name had already established itself in the area by that time.
In the 15th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Condoluci (1420-1492) was a prominent clergyman and theologian from Catanzaro. He served as the Bishop of Squillace and was renowned for his scholarly works on theology and ecclesiastical law.
Another historical figure bearing the Condoluci name was Bartolomeo Condoluci (1564-1631), a jurist and legal scholar from Reggio Calabria. He authored several treatises on law and served as a judge in the city's court system.
The Condoluci surname also appeared in the records of the Kingdom of Naples during the 16th and 17th centuries. Several members of the family held positions of nobility and landowners within the kingdom's territories.
In the 19th century, Giuseppe Condoluci (1808-1872) was a prominent politician and statesman from Catanzaro. He served as a deputy in the Neapolitan parliament and was a vocal advocate for the unification of Italy.
Another notable Condoluci was Vincenzo Condoluci (1867-1942), a renowned architect and urban planner from Reggio Calabria. He was responsible for designing several important buildings and public spaces in the city, leaving a lasting impact on its architectural landscape.
While the Condoluci surname has its roots in the southern region of Calabria, it has since spread to other parts of Italy and beyond. The name has been carried by individuals from various professions and backgrounds, contributing to the rich tapestry of Italian culture and history.

When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
