The surname Inzano originated in Italy, with the earliest records dating back to the 11th century. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "insula," which means "island," suggesting that the name's bearers may have lived on an island or near the coast. Alternatively, it could have been derived from the Italian word "inzano," meaning "insane" or "mad."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Inzano name can be found in a document from the town of Siena, Tuscany, dated 1124, where a certain Guido Inzano is mentioned as a landowner. This suggests that the Inzano family may have been of noble or wealthy descent in that region.

In the 13th century, a branch of the Inzano family migrated to the city of Naples, where they became prominent merchants and bankers. One notable member of this branch was Giacomo Inzano (1245-1312), who served as a financial advisor to King Charles II of Naples.

During the Renaissance period, the Inzano name gained further prominence with the rise of the humanist scholar and poet, Antonio Inzano (1470-1542). Born in Palermo, Sicily, Antonio was renowned for his Latin poetry and his translations of Greek classics.

Another significant figure bearing the Inzano name was the 16th-century architect and military engineer, Girolamo Inzano (1508-1578). He was responsible for the design and construction of several fortifications and defensive structures in various Italian cities, including Genoa and Parma.

In the 18th century, the Inzano family produced a notable artist, Giuseppe Inzano (1735-1811), who was born in Turin, Piedmont. His works, which included religious paintings and portraits, can be found in several churches and museums across northern Italy.
