The history of the last name Iaccarino

The surname Iaccarino originated in the region of Campania, Italy, particularly in the cities of Naples and Salerno. It can be traced back to the 15th century and is believed to derive from the Italian word "iacco," which means "coat" or "jacket." This suggests that the name may have originally referred to a profession or trade related to clothing or textiles.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Iaccarino can be found in a 1492 document from the city of Naples, where a certain Giovanni Iaccarino is mentioned as a tailor. Another early reference is in the 1523 census records of Salerno, which list several families with the Iaccarino surname, indicating their presence in the region at that time.

In the 16th century, the name appears in various records from the Kingdom of Naples, including tax registers and property deeds. One notable bearer of the name during this period was Antonio Iaccarino, a merchant from Salerno who lived from 1546 to 1612.

The Iaccarino surname also appears in several historical documents from the 17th and 18th centuries, such as church records and municipal archives. One prominent figure was Tommaso Iaccarino (1678-1741), a renowned painter from Naples who specialized in religious and mythological scenes.

Another noteworthy individual with the Iaccarino surname was Giuseppe Iaccarino (1822-1892), a lawyer and politician from Salerno who served as a member of the Italian parliament during the late 19th century.

In the 20th century, one of the most famous bearers of the Iaccarino name was Peppino Iaccarino (1906-1992), a celebrated Neapolitan actor and comedian who appeared in numerous films and stage productions throughout his career.
