One of the earliest recorded instances of the name INTILE can be found in a document from the city of Siena, dated 1327. The document mentions a man named Giovanni Intile, who was a member of the local tilers' guild.

In the 15th century, the INTILE name appears in several records from the Tuscan region of Italy. For example, a man named Piero Intile is listed as a taxpayer in the city of Florence in 1457.

During the Renaissance period, the INTILE name was also found in other parts of Italy. In 1532, a painter named Antonio Intile was commissioned to create frescoes for a church in the city of Naples.

As the centuries passed, the INTILE name spread to other parts of Europe. In 1678, a merchant named Jacopo Intile is recorded as having lived in the city of Marseille, France.

One of the most notable individuals with the INTILE surname was Vincenzo Intile, an Italian mathematician who lived in the 18th century (1725-1798). He made significant contributions to the field of calculus and taught at the University of Naples.
