The surname "Imbrogno" has its origins in Italy, specifically in the regions of Campania and Calabria. It is believed to have emerged during the medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. The name is derived from the Italian word "imbrogno," which means "frown" or "sullen expression."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Imbrogno can be found in a land registry from the town of Salerno in Campania, dating back to the late 15th century. This document mentions a certain Nicola Imbrogno, who owned a small plot of land in the region.

During the 17th century, the Imbrogno family seems to have spread to other parts of Italy, particularly in the regions of Puglia and Basilicata. In 1673, a man named Girolamo Imbrogno was born in the town of Matera, located in Basilicata. He later became a renowned painter and his works can still be found in several churches and museums across southern Italy.

In the 18th century, the Imbrogno surname gained some prominence in the literary world. Antonio Imbrogno (1718-1789) was a poet and playwright from Naples who wrote several comedies and satirical works that were popular during his time.

Another notable figure was Giuseppe Imbrogno (1782-1856), a military officer from Calabria who fought in the Napoleonic Wars. He rose through the ranks and eventually became a general in the Italian army, earning several honors and decorations for his service.

As the centuries passed, the Imbrogno family continued to establish itself in various parts of Italy, with branches in cities like Rome, Milan, and Turin.
