The variations in spelling, such as "De Giudice" and "Di Giudice," were common during the Middle Ages, reflecting the fluidity of written language at the time.

One of the earliest known references to the name DELGIUDICE can be found in the "Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis," a collection of medieval documents from the Badia di Cava in Campania, dating back to the 11th century. This indicates that the name was present in the region during that period.
