The history of the last name Gulino

The surname Gulino is of Italian origin, specifically from the region of Sicily. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "gula," which means "throat" or "gullet." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a person's physical characteristics or occupation related to the throat or neck area.

The earliest known record of the surname Gulino dates back to the 14th century in the town of Palermo, Sicily. It is found in several historical documents and records from that time period, indicating that the name was already established in the region.

One notable mention of the Gulino surname can be found in the "Codice Diplomatico dei Re Aragonesi," a collection of diplomatic codes and documents from the Aragonese rulers of Sicily during the 15th century. This suggests that individuals bearing the Gulino surname may have held positions of importance or had dealings with the ruling class at that time.

In the 16th century, the Gulino family is recorded as having lived in the town of Monreale, near Palermo. This is evidenced by the birth record of Giovanni Gulino, born in 1542, who later became a prominent figure in the local community.

During the 17th century, the Gulino surname spread to other parts of Sicily, including the cities of Catania and Messina. One notable individual from this period was Antonio Gulino, a painter born in Catania in 1667, whose works can still be found in various churches and galleries in Sicily.

In the 18th century, the Gulino family continued to flourish in Sicily, with several members achieving recognition in various fields. One such individual was Giuseppe Gulino, born in Palermo in 1724, who was a respected scholar and author of several works on Sicilian history and culture.

As the centuries passed, the Gulino surname also made its way to other parts of Italy and even beyond. In the late 19th century, a branch of the family settled in the United States, where they continued to contribute to their respective communities.

Throughout its rich history, the Gulino surname has been associated with individuals from various walks of life, including artists, scholars, politicians, and community leaders. While the name may have originated from a humble reference to physical characteristics, it has since become a proud symbol of the Sicilian heritage and the resilience of those who have carried it throughout the centuries.
