The history of the last name Iannaccone

The surname Iannaccone is of Italian origin, originating in the region of Campania in southern Italy. It is believed to have emerged during the medieval period, around the 12th or 13th century.

This surname is derived from the Italian given name Ianno, which is a variant of the name Giovanni, the Italian equivalent of John. The suffix "-accone" is an augmentative form, indicating a large or exaggerated version of the name. Thus, Iannaccone can be interpreted as "big Ianno" or "large Giovanni."

The earliest recorded instances of the Iannaccone surname can be traced back to historical documents from the city of Naples and its surrounding areas in Campania. Some of these records include tax rolls, census records, and church registers from the 14th and 15th centuries.

In the 19th century, Giuseppe Iannaccone (1821-1896) was a renowned Italian jurist and politician who served as a member of the Italian Parliament and was instrumental in the unification of Italy under the Kingdom of Italy.
