One of the earliest recorded instances of the name CUTNO can be found in the town of Reggio Calabria, where a family with this surname is mentioned in historical documents from the late 1500s. It is possible that the name was initially a nickname or a reference to a particular ancestor who was known for their storytelling abilities.

In the 17th century, records show a CUTNO family residing in the town of Catanzaro, where they were involved in the local artisan trade. A notable figure from this era was Antonio CUTNO (1621-1698), a skilled woodcarver who created intricate sculptures and altarpieces for various churches in the region.

During the 18th century, the CUTNO surname spread to other parts of Italy, including Naples and Sicily. One notable individual from this period was Giuseppe CUTNO (1738-1812), a renowned painter and fresco artist who was commissioned to decorate several churches and palaces in Palermo.

In the 19th century, the CUTNO family began to branch out beyond Italy. Records show that a CUTNO family settled in Malta, where they established a successful business in the textile trade. Vincenzo CUTNO (1819-1892) was a prominent merchant and philanthropist in Valletta, known for his contributions to the local community.

Another notable figure from the 19th century was Maria CUTNO (1845-1921), a celebrated opera singer who performed in various theaters across Europe. She was widely acclaimed for her powerful soprano voice and her interpretations of roles in operas by composers such as Verdi and Puccini.
