The history of the last name Incollingo

The surname Incollingo originated in Italy during the medieval period, specifically in the regions of Sicily and Calabria. It is derived from the Latin word "incola," meaning "inhabitant" or "resident," combined with the suffix "-ingo," which denotes belonging or relation. This name was likely given to someone who had settled in a particular area or who was recognized as a local resident.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Incollingo can be found in the "Codice Diplomatico di Sicilia," a collection of historical documents from the island of Sicily, dating back to the 12th century. This suggests that the name had already established roots in the region during that time.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Incollingo was mentioned in the "Annali di Napoli," a chronicle of events in Naples and its surrounding areas. Giovanni was a nobleman and landowner who held significant influence in the region.

The name Incollingo also appears in several historical records from the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in the towns of Reggio Calabria and Messina. One notable individual was Antonio Incollingo, born in 1587 in Reggio Calabria, who was a renowned scholar and philosopher during the Renaissance period.

In the 18th century, the Incollingo family had a presence in the town of Palmi, located in the province of Reggio Calabria. Records show that a certain Francesco Incollingo (1723-1798) was a prominent merchant and landowner in the area.

Another notable figure was Giuseppe Incollingo (1810-1892), a lawyer and politician from Messina who played a significant role in the Risorgimento, the movement for Italian unification and independence from foreign rule.

As the name spread throughout Italy, variations in spelling emerged, such as Incolingo, Incollingo, and Incollinghi. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and local customs.

It is worth noting that the Incollingo surname is relatively rare outside of Italy, particularly in regions where Italian immigration was less prevalent. However, it continues to be a recognizable name within the Italian diaspora and in the regions where it originated.
