The history of the last name Labo

The surname Labo is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the northern regions of Lombardy and Piedmont. It is thought to be derived from the Latin word "labor," which means "work" or "toil." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who was a hard worker or laborer.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the 13th century, when a certain Giovanni Labo was mentioned in a document from the city of Genoa. It is possible that this individual or his ancestors had migrated from the nearby regions of Lombardy or Piedmont to the coastal city.

In the 14th century, the name appears in records from the town of Monferrato, located in the province of Alessandria, Piedmont. A family by the name of Labo is mentioned as landowners in the area, indicating their potential status and influence during that time period.

By the 15th century, the name had spread to other parts of Italy, including the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. A notable bearer of the name was Francesco Labo, a renowned artist and sculptor from Florence, who lived from 1428 to 1495.

In the 16th century, a branch of the Labo family settled in the city of Rome, where they established themselves as successful merchants and traders. One member, Antonio Labo (1523-1589), became a prominent figure in the city's mercantile circles.

As time progressed, the name Labo continued to be found across various regions of Italy, with some variations in spelling, such as Labo, Labò, and Labau. In the 18th century, a notable figure was the philosopher and writer Giovanni Battista Labo (1715-1785), who hailed from the city of Milan.
