The history of the last name Coreno

The surname Coreno originated in Italy, with its earliest known references dating back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "cornu," meaning "horn," and was likely initially used as a descriptive surname or a nickname for someone with a prominent nose or other horn-like facial feature.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Coreno name can be found in the Codice Diplomatico della Lombardia, a collection of historical documents from the region of Lombardy, which mentions a certain Giovanni Coreno in the year 1287. This suggests that the name was already established in northern Italy during the medieval period.

During the Renaissance, the Coreno family gained prominence in the city of Genoa, where they were involved in maritime trade and commerce. A notable figure from this era was Luca Coreno (1512-1586), a wealthy Genoese merchant and ship owner who funded several expeditions to the New World.

In the 17th century, the Coreno name appeared in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, where a certain Antonio Coreno was tried for heresy in 1623. This provides evidence of the surname's spread to other parts of Europe during this time.

As the Coreno family continued to disperse, they left their mark across various regions. In the 18th century, a French military officer named Pierre Coreno (1725-1798) served in the Napoleonic Wars and was awarded the Légion d'Honneur for his bravery.

Another noteworthy individual was Maria Coreno (1845-1921), an Italian painter and sculptor who was part of the Macchiaioli movement in Tuscany. Her works can be found in several museums throughout Italy.

While the Coreno surname may not be as widespread as some others, it has a rich history spanning multiple centuries and various parts of Europe, with notable bearers contributing to fields such as art, commerce, and military service.
