The history of the last name DeVarona

The surname DEVARONA is believed to have originated in Italy during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Italian words "de" meaning "from" and "varona" which referred to a hill or small mountain. This suggests that the name may have initially been used as a locational surname for someone who lived near or on a hill.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname DEVARONA can be found in the Codice Diplomatico Longobardo, a collection of historical documents from the Lombard kingdom in Italy dating back to the 8th century. However, the spelling at that time was slightly different, appearing as "Devarone".

By the 13th century, the name had evolved closer to its modern form. Records from the city of Florence in 1268 mention a merchant named Guido DEVARONA who traded in fine fabrics and spices. This provides evidence of the name's continued presence in Italy during the Middle Ages.

In the 15th century, a notable figure with the surname DEVARONA was Antonio DEVARONA, a Venetian diplomat and scholar who was born in 1423 and died in 1491. He was known for his work in negotiating treaties and maintaining relations between Venice and other Italian city-states.

Moving into the 16th century, the name appeared in several historical documents related to the Papal States. One such record from 1537 mentions a land dispute involving a family named DEVARONA in the town of Rieti, located north of Rome.

Another prominent individual with the surname DEVARONA was Girolamo DEVARONA, a Renaissance-era painter who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He was born in Ferrara in 1570 and is known for his religious artwork, particularly his altarpieces and frescoes in churches throughout northern Italy.

In the 18th century, a member of the DEVARONA family named Pietro DEVARONA gained recognition as a composer and musician in the city of Naples. Born in 1712, he was a prolific writer of operas and sacred music compositions for the Neapolitan court.
