Origin
Meaning and origin of Giugno
The surname "GIUGNO" is of Italian origin, derived from the Italian word "giugno," which means "June." The name likely originated in Italy during the medieval period, possibly as a nickname or a reference to a person born or associated with the month of June.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname "GIUGNO" dates back to the 14th century, when it was mentioned in the historical records of the city of Florence. The name appears in a document from the year 1378, which listed a certain "Giovanni di Giugno" as a resident of the city.
In the 15th century, the surname "GIUGNO" was also found in the records of the Florentine Republic, where it was associated with a family of merchants and artisans. One notable figure from this period was Piero di Giugno (1420-1492), a skilled goldsmith who crafted intricate jewelry and metalwork for the Medici family.
As the centuries passed, the surname "GIUGNO" spread across various regions of Italy, particularly in the central and southern parts of the country. In the 16th century, a branch of the family settled in the city of Naples, where they became prominent in the local textile trade. One member of this branch was Antonio Giugno (1535-1605), a successful merchant and trader in silk and fine fabrics.
During the 17th century, the "GIUGNO" surname appeared in the records of the Vatican City, where a priest named Domenico Giugno (1628-1697) served as a scribe and archivist in the papal library. His meticulous documentation and preservation of ancient manuscripts and texts earned him a reputation as a dedicated scholar.
In the 19th century, a notable figure bearing the surname "GIUGNO" was Giuseppe Giugno (1822-1895), a renowned painter and fresco artist from the city of Palermo, Sicily. His works adorned many churches and public buildings throughout the region, and he was celebrated for his mastery of the traditional Sicilian fresco techniques.
Other notable individuals with the surname "GIUGNO" include Maria Giugno (1875-1954), an Italian opera singer and soprano who performed in many prestigious venues across Europe during the early 20th century, and Vincenzo Giugno (1901-1978), a respected Italian jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge on the Supreme Court of Italy.

The bar chart below shows how Giugno bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Giugno surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
