Origin
Meaning and origin of Lendino
The surname Lendino has its origins in Italy, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "lendinus," which referred to a type of small, flat fish. This suggests that the name may have initially been an occupational surname, given to someone who worked as a fishmonger or dealt in the trade of small fish.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Lendino can be found in the medieval Florentine tax records from the 14th century. These records mention a family by the name of Lendino living in the city of Florence during that time.
In the 15th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Lendino (1420-1492) was a prominent scholar and humanist who lived in Venice. He was known for his contributions to the study of classical literature and his extensive library of rare manuscripts.
The Lendino name also appears in historical records from the city of Genoa, where a family by the name of Lendino resided during the 16th century. One member of this family, Andrea Lendino (1540-1612), was a respected merchant and banker who played a significant role in the city's economic affairs.
In the 17th century, the Lendino surname was found in the Southern Italian region of Calabria. A notable figure from this period was Tommaso Lendino (1625-1692), a renowned painter and artist who was celebrated for his religious artwork and frescoes in various churches throughout the region.
Another notable individual with the Lendino surname was Giulio Lendino (1775-1840), a military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars. He was born in the town of Asti, in the Piedmont region of Northern Italy, and rose through the ranks to become a respected commander in the French army.
While the Lendino surname is relatively uncommon today, it has a rich history that spans several centuries and regions of Italy. The name's origins can be traced back to the medieval period, and it has been associated with various occupations, intellectual pursuits, and notable individuals throughout its long history.

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 Lendino surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
