The name may have derived from the Italian word "dell'anno," meaning "of the year," suggesting a possible connection to a specific event or time period.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Dellano can be found in the records of the Visconti family, a powerful noble dynasty that ruled over Milan and its surrounding territories during the 13th and 14th centuries.

One member of this family, Marco Dellano (1487-1553), was a successful trader and financier who played a significant role in Venice's economic and political affairs.

In the 17th century, a branch of the Dellano family migrated to the Kingdom of Naples, where they became landowners and nobles. Antonio Dellano (1623-1689) was a prominent figure in this branch, serving as a military commander and governor in various provinces of the Neapolitan kingdom.
