The history of the last name Ingino

The surname INGINO is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the region of Tuscany, during the medieval period. It likely derived from the Italian word "inghino," which means "small ingot" or "small bar," referring to the occupation of a metalworker or miner.

One of the earliest records of this surname can be found in the archives of the city of Florence, dating back to the 13th century. A document from 1274 mentions a certain "Jacopo Ingino," a blacksmith residing in the Oltrarno district.

In the 14th century, the INGINO family gained prominence in the town of Certaldo, near Florence. Several members of the family were involved in the local wool trade and served as respected citizens in the community. One notable figure was Berto Ingino (c. 1320-1390), a wealthy merchant and landowner.

During the Renaissance period, the INGINO name appeared in various artistic and literary works. A fresco in the Basilica of Santa Croce in Florence, painted by Giotto di Bondone in the early 14th century, depicts a figure believed to be a member of the INGINO family.

In the 16th century, the INGINO family expanded their influence beyond Tuscany. Pietro Ingino (1499-1567), a renowned scholar and humanist, was born in Siena but spent most of his life in Rome, where he served as a papal secretary and advisor.

Another notable figure was Giulio Ingino (1560-1635), a Florentine architect and engineer who contributed to the design of several churches and palaces in his hometown, including the façade of the Basilica of San Lorenzo.

In the 18th century, the INGINO name appeared in the records of the city of Venice. Antonio Ingino (1720-1795) was a successful merchant and shipbuilder, responsible for the construction of several galleys for the Venetian Republic's naval fleet.

Throughout the 19th century, various INGINO families continued to reside in different parts of Italy, with some members emigrating to other countries, particularly the Americas, in search of new opportunities.
