The history of the last name D'Asaro

The surname DASARO is believed to have originated in Italy during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Italian word "da saro," which translates to "from Saro." This suggests that the name may have been initially used to identify individuals who came from a specific place called Saro, possibly a small village or town.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the DASARO name can be found in a document from the 13th century, which mentions a certain Giacomo DASARO, a merchant from the city of Venice. This provides evidence that the name was already in use by that time in the Venetian region of Italy.

In the 15th century, there are records of a noble family with the DASARO surname residing in the city of Genoa. Among them was Niccolò DASARO, a prominent politician and diplomat who served as an ambassador for the Republic of Genoa in the late 1400s.

During the Renaissance period, the DASARO name gained recognition through the works of the Italian painter and architect, Giovanni Battista DASARO (1490-1565). He was known for his frescoes and architectural designs in various churches and palaces throughout northern Italy.

Another notable figure with the DASARO surname was Francesco DASARO (1630-1688), a Catholic priest and theologian from Naples. He was widely respected for his scholarly writings on religious topics and his contributions to the intellectual discourse of his time.

In the 18th century, the DASARO name appeared in historical documents related to the city of Palermo, Sicily. One such record mentions a certain Giuseppe DASARO, a wealthy landowner and merchant who played a significant role in the local economy and politics of the region.

As the surname spread across Italy, it also took on various regional spelling variations, such as Dasari, Dasarro, and Dasari. Some of these variations may have been influenced by local dialects or the preferences of individual families.

Throughout its history, the DASARO surname has been associated with individuals from diverse backgrounds, including merchants, artists, scholars, and aristocratic families.
