This suggests that the name was likely associated with those who worked in agriculture or tended to the land.

One of the earliest known references to the IABONI surname can be found in the historic records of the town of Abruzzo, located in central Italy. These records mention a family by the name of IABONI residing in the region during the mid-16th century.

In the 17th century, a notable figure bearing the IABONI surname was Giovanni IABONI, a renowned artist and sculptor from Naples. His works can still be found in various churches and museums throughout Italy, with some of his most famous pieces being the intricate marble carvings adorning the altars of the Duomo di Milano.

During the 18th century, the IABONI name gained further prominence with the birth of Francesco IABONI (1720-1792), a celebrated philosopher and writer from the town of Potenza in Basilicata.

In the 19th century, the IABONI name made its way to the United States, with records indicating that several families bearing this surname arrived in the late 1800s, seeking new opportunities and a better life.
