The history of the last name Emmanuelli

The surname Emmanuelli originated in Italy, specifically in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, during the Middle Ages. It is believed to be derived from the Italian word "Emmanuele," which means "Emmanuel" or "God with us," a reference to the biblical name for Jesus Christ.

One of the earliest known records of the Emmanuelli name dates back to the 13th century, when a family bearing this surname is mentioned in the archives of the city of Florence. The name was likely given to individuals who were devout Christians or had some connection to religious orders or institutions.

Throughout the centuries, the Emmanuelli surname has appeared in various historical documents and records across Italy. For instance, in the 15th century, a nobleman named Emmanuelli Benvenuti is recorded as having held a prominent position in the city of Ferrara, which was then part of the Papal States.

During the Renaissance period, the Emmanuelli family gained prominence in the arts and literature. One notable figure was Giacomo Emmanuelli, a poet and scholar born in Siena in 1472, who was celebrated for his contributions to Italian literature and his patronage of the arts.

In the 17th century, a branch of the Emmanuelli family settled in the region of Calabria, where they became known for their involvement in the silk trade and agricultural activities. One prominent member of this branch was Domenico Emmanuelli, who lived from 1623 to 1697 and was a renowned landowner and philanthropist in the city of Cosenza.

Another significant figure bearing the Emmanuelli surname was Carlo Emmanuelli, a military officer and diplomat who lived from 1785 to 1862. He served in the Napoleonic Wars and later played a crucial role in the Italian unification movement, representing the Kingdom of Sardinia in various diplomatic missions.

As the Emmanuelli family spread throughout Italy over the centuries, different spellings and variations of the name emerged, such as Emmanuellis, Emanuelli, and Emmanuelis. However, the core meaning and origin remained tied to the biblical name Emmanuel and the family's Christian roots.
