Origin
Meaning and origin of Lobozzo
The surname LOBOZZO is of Italian origin, believed to have originated in the southern regions of Italy during the medieval period, around the 12th or 13th century. It is thought to be derived from the Italian word "lupo," meaning wolf, possibly indicating a connection to someone who lived near a wolf's den or had a wolf-like appearance or personality.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name LOBOZZO can be found in a document from the city of Naples, dated 1287, which mentions a certain "Giovanni Lobozzo" as a merchant and landowner. This suggests that the name was already established in the area at that time.
In the 15th century, the name LOBOZZO appeared in several historical records from the town of Salerno, near the Amalfi Coast. One notable individual was Antonello Lobozzo, a renowned painter and sculptor who lived between 1435 and 1498, known for his work on the Church of Santa Maria delle Grazie in Salerno.
During the 16th century, the LOBOZZO family seems to have spread to other parts of Italy, as evidenced by the birth of Pietro Lobozzo in Venice in 1542. Pietro was a prominent scholar and writer who authored several works on philosophy and theology.
The name LOBOZZO also has connections to the island of Sicily, where a small village called Lobozzo still exists today. It is possible that the surname originated from this location, which may have been named after an individual or family with the same name.
In the 18th century, a notable figure with the surname LOBOZZO was Antonio Lobozzo, born in Naples in 1712. He was a highly respected jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the Neapolitan court system and authored several influential works on jurisprudence.
Another prominent individual with the LOBOZZO surname was Giacomo Lobozzo, a military officer who served in the Napoleonic Wars. Born in 1785 in Salerno, he rose through the ranks of the French army and was awarded the Legion of Honor for his bravery and leadership in the Battle of Austerlitz in 1805.
Over the centuries, the LOBOZZO name has remained relatively uncommon, but it has maintained a presence in various regions of Italy, particularly in the southern regions where it is believed to have originated. While not as widely known as some other Italian surnames, the name LOBOZZO has a rich history and a strong connection to the cultural heritage of southern Italy.

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