The history of the last name Jacobucci

The surname Jacobucci is of Italian origin, emerging in the late medieval period, likely around the 13th or 14th century. It is believed to have originated in the regions of Tuscany and Umbria, where it was likely a locative surname derived from a specific place name.

One theory suggests that Jacobucci may have stemmed from the Latin name Jacobus, a variant of the name James or Jacob, combined with the Italian suffix "-ucci," which often denoted a diminutive or familial form. This would imply that the name initially referred to a family or place associated with someone named Jacob or James.

Early records of the name can be found in various Italian manuscripts and documents from the 14th and 15th centuries. For instance, a certain Giacomo Jacobucci was mentioned in a Florentine archival record from 1387, while a Niccolò Jacobucci was cited in a legal document from Perugia in 1422.

One notable bearer of the name was Francesco Jacobucci, a 16th-century Italian painter and architect from Faenza, Romagna, who lived from around 1495 to 1557. He is known for his frescoes and architectural works in various churches and buildings in the Emilia-Romagna region.

Another prominent Jacobucci was Girolamo Jacobucci, a 17th-century Italian painter from Foligno, Umbria, active between 1620 and 1668. He specialized in religious paintings and worked extensively in churches and monasteries throughout Umbria and neighboring regions.

In the 19th century, a certain Giuseppe Jacobucci was a noted historian and archivist from Orvieto, Umbria, who authored several works on the history and antiquities of his hometown, including "Memorie istoriche della città di Orvieto" (Historical Memoirs of the City of Orvieto), published in 1847.

Additionally, Ercole Jacobucci was an Italian politician and lawyer from Città di Castello, Umbria, who lived from 1826 to 1903. He served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament and was actively involved in the Risorgimento movement for Italian unification.

While the surname Jacobucci is not among the most common Italian surnames, it has maintained a presence, particularly in the central regions of Italy, where it likely originated and has its deepest historical roots.
