Origin
Meaning and origin of Lazott
The surname LAZOTT has its origins in the Lombardy region of northern Italy, dating back to the early 16th century. It is believed to be derived from the Italian word "laziotto," which referred to a person from the town of Lazise, located on the shores of Lake Garda.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the LAZOTT surname can be found in a land registry document from the town of Verona, dated 1532. The document mentions a certain Giovanni LAZOTT, who owned a small vineyard in the nearby village of San Martino Buon Albergo.
During the 17th century, the LAZOTT family gained prominence in the city of Brescia, where they were involved in the silk trade. A notable member of the family was Girolamo LAZOTT (1612-1687), a successful merchant and philanthropist who funded the construction of a church and a hospital in his hometown.
In the 18th century, the LAZOTT name spread beyond the borders of Lombardy as some members of the family migrated to other parts of Italy and Europe. For instance, Antonio LAZOTT (1738-1803) was a renowned architect who worked in Venice and designed several notable buildings, including the Palazzo Barzizza.
Another notable figure with the LAZOTT surname was Luisa LAZOTT (1812-1892), a writer and poet from Milan who published several collections of poetry and novels. Her works often explored themes of love, nature, and the struggles of women in 19th-century Italian society.
As the LAZOTT family continued to grow and disperse, some members eventually found their way to other parts of the world, including the Americas. One such individual was Pietro LAZOTT (1867-1942), an Italian immigrant who settled in Argentina and became a successful businessman in the wine industry.
While the LAZOTT surname may not be as common today as it once was in its place of origin, it remains a part of the rich cultural heritage of the Lombardy region and a testament to the diverse histories and journeys of Italian families over the centuries.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Lazott surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
