The history of the last name Infusino

The surname INFUSINO has its origins in Italy, specifically in the southern regions of the country, dating back to the 16th century. The name is believed to be derived from the Latin word "infusus," meaning "poured in" or "infused," suggesting a connection to occupations or trades involving liquids or infusions, such as winemaking or herbal remedies.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the INFUSINO name can be found in the archives of the city of Naples, where a family by that name is mentioned in a document from the late 1500s. This document suggests that the family was involved in the production and trade of wine or other alcoholic beverages, lending credence to the theory of the name's occupational origins.

In the 17th century, the INFUSINO name appears in various records from the region of Calabria, particularly in the town of Reggio Calabria. During this time, a notable member of the family, Giuseppe INFUSINO (1635-1701), was a respected physician and herbalist known for his use of herbal infusions in his medical practice.

As the INFUSINO family spread throughout Italy, they left traces of their presence in various regions. In the 18th century, records show a branch of the family residing in the city of Genoa, where Giovanni INFUSINO (1712-1782) was a successful merchant involved in the trade of spices and herbal remedies.

Moving into the 19th century, the INFUSINO name gained recognition in the field of literature. Antonio INFUSINO (1827-1892), a native of Naples, was a renowned poet and writer whose works explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition. His collection of sonnets, "Amori Eterni" (Eternal Loves), published in 1865, is considered a masterpiece of Italian Romantic poetry.

Another notable figure was Maria INFUSINO (1879-1957), a pioneering educator from Reggio Calabria. She founded one of the first schools for girls in the region, advocating for equal access to education and empowering generations of young women through her teachings.

Throughout its history, the INFUSINO name has been associated with various occupations and professions, from winemakers and herbalists to merchants and writers. While its origins may be rooted in the trades of ancient times, the name has left an indelible mark on the cultural and intellectual fabric of Italy.
