The history of the last name d'Arcangelo

The surname DARCANGELO is of Italian origin, specifically from the regions of Campania and Calabria in southern Italy. It is believed to have emerged during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century.

The name DARCANGELO is likely derived from the combination of two words - "d'Arcangelo," which translates to "of the Archangel." This suggests a possible connection to a particular location, perhaps a town or village dedicated to an archangel, or it may have been adopted as a surname by individuals associated with a church or religious order devoted to an archangel.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DARCANGELO can be found in the historic records of the town of Amalfi, located along the Amalfi Coast in the Campania region. In a manuscript dated 1387, a certain "Giovanno d'Arcangelo" is mentioned as a merchant and landowner in the area.

Another notable figure bearing the DARCANGELO name was Matteo DARCANGELO, born in 1512 in the town of Scalea, Calabria. He was a renowned scholar and philosopher who authored several treatises on logic and metaphysics during the Renaissance period.

In the 16th century, a branch of the DARCANGELO family migrated to the city of Naples, where they established themselves as prominent members of the local nobility. One of their descendants, Giulio DARCANGELO (1637-1718), served as a high-ranking official in the Neapolitan court and was renowned for his patronage of the arts and literature.

During the 18th century, the name DARCANGELO also gained prominence in the region of Basilicata, where a family of that name produced several notable figures. One such individual was Antonio DARCANGELO (1746-1822), a military officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars and later became a respected landowner and benefactor in his hometown of Potenza.

Another notable DARCANGELO was Maria DARCANGELO (1821-1898), a renowned painter and artist from the city of Reggio Calabria. Her works, which often depicted scenes of everyday life in southern Italy, are now part of several prestigious art collections throughout the country.

Throughout its history, the DARCANGELO surname has maintained a strong presence in the regions of Campania, Calabria, and Basilicata, reflecting the family's deep roots in southern Italy. While the name may have evolved in spelling and pronunciation over time, its connection to the cultural and historical heritage of these regions remains a significant part of its legacy.
