The history of the last name Iannarone

The surname Iannarone traces its origins to Italy, specifically the southern regions of Campania and Calabria. It is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, between the 11th and 13th centuries. The name is derived from the Italian given name Giannarone, which itself is a diminutive form of the name Giovanni, meaning "John" in English.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Iannarone can be found in the Codice Diplomatico Barese, a collection of historical documents from the city of Bari in Puglia, dating back to the 12th century. Here, the name appears as "Iannarone de Bari," suggesting a connection to the region.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Rinaldo Iannarone was mentioned in the chronicles of the city of Naples. He was a prominent merchant and landowner during the reign of King Robert of Anjou, who ruled the Kingdom of Naples from 1309 to 1343.

Another early record of the name can be found in the archives of the Vatican, where a document from the 15th century mentions a certain Giacomo Iannarone, a scholar and scribe who worked in the papal court.

During the 16th century, the name Iannarone became more widespread in southern Italy, with several families bearing the surname residing in the towns and villages of Campania and Calabria. One notable individual from this period was Antonio Iannarone, a renowned architect who was responsible for designing several churches and public buildings in the city of Salerno.

In the 18th century, the Iannarone family produced a celebrated artist named Gaetano Iannarone, who was born in Naples in 1720. He was known for his exceptional portraiture and religious paintings, many of which can still be found in churches and museums throughout southern Italy.

As the name Iannarone spread across Italy, it also found its way to other parts of Europe and eventually to the Americas through immigration. Notable individuals with this surname include the Italian-American writer and academic Antonia Iannarone, born in 1951, and the American political activist and author Sarina Iannarone, born in 1978.
