The history of the last name Delgrande

The surname DELGRANDE has its origins in Italy, specifically in the northern regions of the country. The name is believed to have emerged during the 12th or 13th century. The prefix "del" is derived from the Italian preposition "della," meaning "of the," while "grande" translates to "large" or "great." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived in or near a large or prominent place.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a 14th-century document from the city of Genoa, which mentions a certain Guglielmo DELGRANDE. This indicates that the name was in use in the Ligurian region of northwestern Italy during that period.

In the 15th century, the DELGRANDE name appears in various records from the Venetian Republic, particularly in the areas around Venice and Verona. This suggests that the name had spread to the northeastern regions of Italy by that time.

The 19th century saw the DELGRANDE name appear in various parts of Italy, including the regions of Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna. One notable individual from this period was Luigi DELGRANDE (1819-1892), a painter and art teacher from Milan who specialized in landscapes and portraits.
