The history of the last name Leuterio

The surname LEUTERIO is of Italian origin, derived from the Latin word "luterius," meaning "potter" or "maker of earthenware vessels." It first appeared in the records of medieval Italy during the 13th century, particularly in the regions of Tuscany and Umbria, where pottery-making was a thriving industry.

In the early 14th century, the name LEUTERIO was recorded in the "Codice Diplomatico Longobardo," a collection of documents from the Lombard period in Italy. This suggests that the surname was already established among families involved in the pottery trade during that time.

One of the earliest recorded individuals with the surname LEUTERIO was Giovanni Leuterio, a master potter born in Deruta, Umbria, around 1430. His intricate and colorful majolica pottery pieces were highly sought after by wealthy patrons throughout Italy and Europe.

In the 16th century, the LEUTERIO surname appeared in the "Codice Diplomatico Aretino," a compilation of documents from the city of Arezzo in Tuscany. This indicates the presence of the name in that region, where several families bearing the surname were known for their skilled craftsmanship in the production of terra cotta pottery.

During the Renaissance, the name LEUTERIO was associated with the Della Robbia family, renowned sculptors and ceramists from Florence. Luca della Robbia (1399-1482) and his nephew Andrea della Robbia (1435-1525) were among the most famous artists of their time, known for their innovative glazed terra cotta sculptures and architectural decorations.

Another notable figure was Guido Leuterio (1570-1644), a respected lawyer and scholar from Perugia, who published several legal treatises and served as a judge in the city's court system.

In the 18th century, the LEUTERIO surname was carried by Pietro Leuterio (1710-1789), a celebrated painter from Gubbio, known for his religious works adorning churches throughout Umbria.

The name LEUTERIO has also been linked to various place names in Italy, such as the village of Leuterio in the province of Perugia, and the Leuterio River, a tributary of the Tiber River in Tuscany.

While the surname LEUTERIO is not as common today as it was in its heyday, it remains a part of Italy's rich cultural heritage, reflecting the country's long-standing tradition of pottery-making and artistic craftsmanship.
