Meaning and origin of Incorvati
The surname Incorvati originates from Italy, likely emerging around the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "incorvato," meaning "bent" or "curved," potentially referring to an individual's physical appearance or occupation.
The name was initially concentrated in the regions of Campania and Sicily, with early records indicating its presence in the city of Naples and surrounding areas. Similar spellings such as Incurvati and Incurvato have also been documented.
One of the earliest known references to the name Incorvati can be found in a 14th-century manuscript from the Archivio di Stato di Napoli, where it was mentioned in connection with a local artisan guild.
The name has been associated with various professions throughout history, including woodworkers, carpenters, and stonemasons, who might have specialized in creating curved or arched structures.
Notable individuals with the surname Incorvati include Vincenzo Incorvati (1590-1662), a Neapolitan painter known for his religious works, and Gian Battista Incorvati (1715-1789), a renowned architect from Palermo who designed several churches and palaces in Sicily.
In the 16th century, a branch of the Incorvati family migrated to Genoa, where they established themselves as successful merchants. One member, Antonio Incorvati (1532-1598), was a prominent banker and financier involved in international trade.
During the Renaissance period, the name Incorvati appeared in records related to the arts and sciences. Pietro Incorvati (1470-1542) was a respected philosopher and scholar from Florence, known for his work on Aristotelian ethics.
In more recent history, Giulio Incorvati (1888-1967) was an Italian politician and journalist who served as a member of the Chamber of Deputies in the early 20th century.
These examples illustrate the widespread presence of the Incorvati surname across various regions of Italy and its connection to diverse professions and individuals throughout history.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Incorvati surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
