The history of the last name DeVino

The surname DEVINO originated in Italy during the late medieval period. It is derived from the Latin word "de vino," meaning "of wine," indicating that the first bearers of this name were likely involved in the wine trade or resided near a vineyard.

The DEVINO name can be traced back to various regions of Italy, particularly in the northern and central parts of the country. Some of the earliest recorded instances of this surname are found in historical documents from the 13th and 14th centuries, such as municipal records, tax rolls, and property deeds.

One notable historical reference to the DEVINO name appears in the records of the Venetian Republic, where a merchant named Giovanni DEVINO is mentioned in a trade agreement dated 1387. This suggests that members of the DEVINO family were involved in commerce and business during the Renaissance period.

In the 15th century, a branch of the DEVINO family settled in the region of Tuscany, where they acquired land and established themselves as a prominent noble family. One of the earliest recorded members of this Tuscan branch was Giulio DEVINO, born in 1462, who served as a magistrate in the city of Florence.

Another historically significant individual bearing the DEVINO surname was Benedetto DEVINO, a renowned artist and sculptor from Venice who lived during the early 16th century. His works can still be admired in various churches and museums across Italy.

During the 17th century, the DEVINO name spread further throughout the Italian peninsula, with notable individuals including Tommaso DEVINO (1603-1678), a prominent lawyer and jurist from Naples, and Giuseppina DEVINO (1638-1712), a renowned operatic soprano who performed in the courts of several Italian principalities.

As the DEVINO name continued to be carried across generations, it also found its way to other parts of Europe and even the Americas through immigration. However, the historical roots and earliest recorded examples of this surname can be firmly traced back to its Italian origins.
