The history of the last name DeLullo

The surname DELULLO is believed to have originated in Italy, likely during the late medieval or early Renaissance period. It is thought to derive from the Latin word "delulus," meaning "small" or "diminutive," which may have been used as a nickname for a physically small person or as a term of endearment.

Some historical records suggest that the name may have its roots in the Campania region of southern Italy, particularly around the city of Naples. The earliest known occurrence of the name is found in a 14th-century document from the town of Aversa, where a certain Giovanniello Delullo is mentioned as a landowner.

In the 15th century, the name appears in various records from the Kingdom of Naples, including tax rolls and property deeds. One notable example is Bartolomeo Delullo, a merchant from the city of Salerno who was involved in the maritime trade with the Republic of Venice.

As the centuries progressed, the Delullo name spread to other parts of Italy, with families bearing this surname documented in regions such as Lazio, Tuscany, and Sicily. In the 16th century, a Delullo family settled in the town of Montepulciano, in the province of Siena, where they became prominent landowners and vintners.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name outside of Italy can be found in the 17th century, when a certain Giovanni Battista Delullo emigrated to the Spanish Netherlands (modern-day Belgium) and established a successful textile business in the city of Antwerp.

Over the years, several individuals with the surname Delullo have achieved notable recognition.
