This suggests that the name may have initially been used to identify individuals who lived or worked in a central location within a town or village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DEMEDIO can be found in the Florentine Codice Diplomatico, a collection of medieval documents from Florence, Italy. In this compilation, there is a reference to a certain "Iohannes de Medio" in the year 1285.

In the 17th century, the DEMEDIO family established a presence in the region of Tuscany, particularly in the town of Siena. Records from this time period show that a Francesco DEMEDIO (1620-1685) was a respected lawyer and judge in the city.

Another notable individual with the DEMEDIO surname was Giacomo DEMEDIO (1745-1818), a renowned architect from Milan. He is credited with designing several notable buildings, including the Chiesa di Santa Maria Incoronata.
