The history of the last name Delgaudio

The surname DELGAUDIO is of Italian origin, specifically from the region of Campania in southern Italy. Its roots can be traced back to the 13th century, when it was likely derived from the Italian words "del" meaning "of" or "from" and "guado," meaning "ford" or "shallow river crossing." This suggests that the name may have originated from an individual or family who lived near a ford or river crossing.

In the early records of the region, the name was sometimes spelled as "Delguado" or "Delguadio," reflecting the regional dialects and variations in spelling at the time. One of the earliest documented instances of the name can be found in the Catasto Onciario, a land registry from the Kingdom of Naples, dated 1741. It lists a Gennaro Delgaudio as a landowner in the town of Frattamaggiore, near Naples.

The DELGAUDIO name has also been associated with several notable individuals throughout history. In the 16th century, there was a Neapolitan painter named Giovan Battista Delgaudio (1532-1605), known for his religious works and frescoes adorning churches in Naples and surrounding areas. Another prominent figure was the Italian historian and philosopher Vincenzo Delgaudio (1677-1749), who wrote extensively on the history and culture of Naples.

During the 19th century, the name gained some prominence in the United States, particularly in the Northeast. One notable American bearing the name was John Delgaudio (1843-1917), a Civil War veteran who served in the Union Army and later became a successful businessman in New York City.

In more recent times, the DELGAUDIO name has been carried by several public figures, including Eugene Delgaudio (born 1955), a controversial American political activist and former elected official in Loudoun County, Virginia, and Massimo Delgaudio (born 1969), an Italian professional football (soccer) player who played for several clubs in Italy and Greece in the 1990s and early 2000s.

While the DELGAUDIO surname may not be as widely known as some other Italian names, its history and origins can be traced back to the medieval period in southern Italy, where it likely originated from a geographic location or feature associated with a river crossing or ford.
