The history of the last name Iaconelli

The surname Iaconelli has its origins in Italy, likely emerging in the late medieval period or early Renaissance. It is believed to be derived from the Italian given name "Iacopo," which in turn comes from the Latin name "Iacobus," a variant of the biblical name Jacob.

The earliest recorded instances of the Iaconelli surname can be traced back to the regions of Tuscany and Umbria in central Italy. Several historical records from the 13th to 15th centuries mention individuals bearing variations of the name, such as Iacobelli, Iacobelli, and Iacobucci.

One of the earliest known bearers of the Iaconelli name was Ser Iacobuccio Iaconelli, a notary and landowner from the city of Perugia in Umbria, who lived in the late 13th century. His name is found in various legal documents and property records from that time.

Another notable figure was Matteo Iaconelli, a merchant and banker from Florence, Tuscany, who lived in the early 15th century. He was involved in several commercial ventures and held influential positions within the city's guild system.

In the 16th century, the Iaconelli family became prominent in the town of Montepulciano, located in the province of Siena, Tuscany. Francesco Iaconelli (1492-1563) was a respected jurist and served as a magistrate and legal advisor to the local nobility.

One of the most illustrious bearers of the Iaconelli name was Cardinal Pietro Iaconelli (1572-1642), a Roman Catholic prelate from Montepulciano. He held various important positions within the Church hierarchy, including serving as the Bishop of Arezzo and later as the Cardinal-Priest of Santi Marcellino e Pietro.

During the Renaissance and Baroque periods, the Iaconelli surname was also found in other parts of Italy, including the regions of Lazio, Marche, and Campania. Some notable individuals from this time include the painter Girolamo Iaconelli (1580-1652) from Naples and the architect Domenico Iaconelli (1623-1689) from Rome.

As the centuries passed, the Iaconelli surname continued to be carried by individuals from various walks of life, including artists, writers, scholars, and professionals.
