The history of the last name Iannicelli

The surname Iannicelli originates from Italy, tracing its roots back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Italian personal name Iannico or Iannicco, which itself is a diminutive form of the name Giovanni, the Italian equivalent of John.

Iannicelli is a patronymic surname, meaning it was initially used to identify the children or descendants of an individual named Iannico or Iannicco. The suffix "-elli" was added to the name, which is a common practice in Italian surnames to denote lineage or familial relationships.

The earliest recorded instances of the Iannicelli surname can be found in historical documents from the regions of Campania and Lazio in central and southern Italy. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Iannicelli Boccaccio, a 14th-century Italian author and poet from Certaldo, Tuscany, who lived from 1313 to 1375.

Another notable figure was Antonio Iannicelli, a 16th-century Italian painter from Naples, who was active during the Renaissance period. His works can be found in various churches and museums throughout Italy.

In the 18th century, Giuseppe Iannicelli was a prominent Italian architect and engineer from Naples, who designed several notable buildings and structures in the city, including the Palazzo Reale di Napoli (Royal Palace of Naples).

During the 19th century, Vincenzo Iannicelli was an Italian politician and lawyer from the town of Isernia in the Molise region. He served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament and was known for his advocacy of civil rights and social reforms.

Another individual of note was Gennaro Iannicelli, a 20th-century Italian composer and conductor from Naples, who lived from 1915 to 2001. He composed numerous works for orchestras, operas, and ballets, and was also known for his conducting performances throughout Europe.

While the Iannicelli surname has its roots in Italy, it has since spread to other parts of the world through immigration, particularly to North and South America, where many Italians settled during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
