This document mentions a person named Giovanni HAVILI, who was a landowner and farmer. Another early reference to the name appears in a manuscript from the city of Florence, dated 1312, which lists a merchant named Niccolò HAVILI as a member of the local guild.

During the Renaissance period, the HAVILI surname gained prominence in the region of Tuscany.
