The history of the last name Iseri

The surname ISERI has its origins in Italy, dating back to the late 15th century. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "isera," meaning "the previous evening" or "yesterday." This name likely originated in the region of Piedmont, where it was first recorded.

One of the earliest documented references to the ISERI surname can be found in the records of the city of Turin, where a merchant named Giovanni ISERI was mentioned in a trade document from 1492. This suggests that the name was already established in that area by the late 15th century.

In the 16th century, the ISERI name began to appear in other parts of Italy, particularly in the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. Historical records from this period indicate that members of the ISERI family were involved in various occupations, including agriculture, craftsmanship, and even the clergy.

A notable figure from this era was Battista ISERI (1524-1587), a renowned painter from the city of Bergamo. His works can still be found in several churches and galleries throughout northern Italy, showcasing his skill in portraiture and religious themes.

By the 17th century, the ISERI surname had spread to other parts of Europe, with some families migrating to countries like France and Spain. One notable bearer of the name during this time was Antonio ISERI (1633-1711), a Spanish military officer who served under King Charles II and fought in the War of the Spanish Succession.

In the 18th century, the ISERI name continued to be found across various regions of Italy, with some families establishing themselves in the city of Naples. One prominent individual from this period was Giuseppe ISERI (1748-1822), a philosopher and writer who contributed to the Enlightenment movement in Italy with his works on ethics and social reform.

As the 19th century dawned, the ISERI surname gained further recognition with the birth of Emilio ISERI (1820-1892), an Italian politician and statesman who played a crucial role in the unification of Italy. He served as a member of the Italian Parliament and was a strong advocate for the principle of self-determination for the Italian people.

Throughout its history, the ISERI surname has been carried by individuals from diverse backgrounds and professions, each contributing to the rich tapestry of Italian culture and society.
