The history of the last name Iammarino

The surname IAMMARINO is of Italian origin, traced back to regions in Southern Italy, primarily Campania and Basilicata. The name is derived from the Greek word "iammatikos," which means "healer" or "physician." This suggests that the earliest bearers of this surname may have been involved in the practice of medicine or healing professions.

During the Middle Ages, the IAMMARINO name appeared in various medieval documents and records, particularly in the areas around Naples and Salerno. These regions were known for their thriving medical schools and institutions, where the study of ancient Greek and Roman medical texts was prevalent.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the IAMMARINO name can be found in a 12th-century manuscript from the Monastery of Montecassino, which mentions a physician named Guglielmo IAMMARINO. This indicates that the name was already in use during this period and was associated with the medical profession.

In the 14th century, a notable figure with the IAMMARINO surname was Pietro IAMMARINO, a renowned physician and scholar who practiced in Naples. He authored several treatises on medicine and was highly respected in his field.

He was known for his work in combining the principles of Greek and Arabic medicine, contributing significantly to the advancement of medical knowledge during the Renaissance era.

During the 16th century, the IAMMARINO family had a strong presence in the town of Avigliano, in the province of Potenza, Basilicata. Records show that several members of the family held influential positions within the local community, including Francesco IAMMARINO, who served as the mayor of Avigliano in 1572.

In the 18th century, Giuseppe IAMMARINO (1701-1776), a notable physician and botanist from Naples, made significant contributions to the study of medicinal plants. His extensive work on the flora of the region earned him recognition among his contemporaries.
