The history of the last name Lazzarino

The surname Lazzarino is of Italian origin and can be traced back to the late Middle Ages. It is believed to have originated in the region of Lombardy, particularly in the cities of Milan and Bergamo. The name Lazzarino is a diminutive form of the Italian name Lazzaro, which is derived from the Aramaic name Eleazar, meaning "God has helped."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Lazzarino name appears in a 14th-century document from the city of Bergamo, where a certain Guglielmo Lazzarino was mentioned as a prominent merchant. Another early reference is found in a 15th-century manuscript from Milan, which mentions a family of Lazzarinos who were involved in the silk trade.

In the 16th century, the Lazzarino name gained prominence in the city of Venice, where several members of the family held influential positions in the local government and the arts. One notable figure was Girolamo Lazzarino (1518-1592), a renowned painter and architect who contributed to the design of several churches and palaces in Venice.

During the 17th century, the Lazzarino name spread to other parts of Italy, including Rome and Naples. In Rome, a family of Lazzarinos owned a prestigious winery and were known for their philanthropy. One of their descendants, Ettore Lazzarino (1723-1805), was a celebrated composer and musician who performed at the Papal court.

In the 19th century, the Lazzarino name found its way to the United States, as many Italian immigrants sought new opportunities in the New World. One of the earliest recorded Lazzarinos in America was Vincenzo Lazzarino (1832-1912), who settled in New York City and worked as a stonecutter, contributing to the construction of several iconic buildings.

Another prominent figure was Giulia Lazzarino (1887-1968), an Italian-American author and journalist who wrote extensively about the experiences of Italian immigrants in the United States.
