The history of the last name Isacco

The surname "ISACCO" is of Italian origin, derived from the Hebrew name "Isaac" meaning "he laughs" or "he will laugh." The name originated in the medieval period, likely in the regions of Tuscany and Lazio, where Jewish communities existed.

The earliest recorded mention of the surname ISACCO can be traced back to the 13th century in the town of Siena, where a Jewish family bearing this name is documented in the city's archives. The name's prevalence in central Italy suggests it may have been adopted by Jewish families who converted to Christianity during the Renaissance period.

In the 15th century, a prominent figure named Isacco di Abramo, a Jewish physician and scholar, was active in the court of the Medici family in Florence. His contributions to the study of medicine and philosophy were notable during the Italian Renaissance.

Another notable bearer of the ISACCO surname was Giacomo Isacco, a 16th-century Italian painter and architect from the town of Faenza in the Emilia-Romagna region. His works can be found in various churches and palaces throughout northern Italy.

In the 18th century, a family of Jewish bankers and merchants named ISACCO were influential in the city of Livorno, a port city in Tuscany known for its thriving Jewish community. Their banking and trade activities played a significant role in the economic development of the region.

During the 19th century, Giuseppe ISACCO (1820-1898) was a prominent Italian politician and journalist from Naples. He served as a member of the Italian Parliament and was a vocal advocate for the unification of Italy under the House of Savoy.
