Origin
Meaning and origin of Loggia
The surname Loggia is of Italian origin, originating in the northern regions of the country, particularly in the areas around Venice and Lombardy. It can be traced back to the 13th century and is believed to be derived from the Italian word "loggia," which refers to a covered outdoor gallery or a room with open sides.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Loggia can be found in the Venetian archives from the late 13th century, where it appears as "Logia." This variation in spelling was common during that time period, and it reflects the evolution of the name over the centuries.
Historically, the name Loggia was often associated with the architecture and construction trades, as many families with this surname were involved in building and designing loggias and other structures. Some notable examples include Lorenzo Loggia (1535-1592), a renowned architect from Vicenza, who was responsible for designing several churches and palaces in the Veneto region.
In the 14th century, the Loggia family was prominent in the city of Milan, where they held influential positions in the local government and trade guilds. One member of this family, Giacomo Loggia (1325-1396), was a respected merchant and banker who left behind a significant historical record in the form of business ledgers and correspondence.
During the Renaissance period, the name Loggia was also associated with the arts, particularly in the field of painting. Paolo Loggia (1472-1538), a Venetian artist, was known for his frescoes and altarpieces, many of which can still be found in churches and museums throughout Italy.
Another notable figure with the surname Loggia was Gian Paolo Loggia (1555-1635), a humanist scholar and philosopher from Padua. He was a prominent figure in the intellectual circles of his time and wrote extensively on topics ranging from literature to science.
Throughout the centuries, the name Loggia has been carried by individuals from various walks of life, including artists, architects, scholars, and merchants. While its origins can be traced back to the northern regions of Italy, the name has since spread to other parts of the world, reflecting the migration patterns and cultural exchanges that have shaped human 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 Loggia 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.
