The history of the last name Logullo

The surname Logullo is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the southern regions of Calabria and Sicily. It is thought to have derived from the Greek word "logos," meaning "word" or "speech," which may suggest that the name's earliest bearers were involved in occupations related to communication, such as scribes or orators.

The earliest known record of the Logullo name dates back to the 15th century, appearing in various documents and registers from the Kingdom of Naples. One notable mention is found in a manuscript from 1487, which references a Niccolò Logullo, a merchant from Reggio Calabria.

In the 16th century, the name Logullo began to spread across other parts of Italy, as families migrated or established new branches. Historical records from this period mention several individuals with this surname, including Girolamo Logullo, a renowned painter from Messina, Sicily, who lived from 1538 to 1605.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Logullo name became more widely documented, with references found in various Italian cities and regions. One notable figure was Antonio Logullo, a Neapolitan philosopher and scholar who lived from 1658 to 1721 and authored several works on ethics and metaphysics.

In the 19th century, as migration patterns increased, the Logullo surname began to appear in records outside of Italy. For instance, in 1856, a Giuseppe Logullo from Calabria immigrated to Argentina, where he established a successful farming enterprise.

Throughout history, several other notable individuals have borne the Logullo surname. These include Domenico Logullo (1811-1892), an Italian politician and lawyer who served as a deputy in the Parliament of the Kingdom of Italy, and Pasquale Logullo (1837-1906), a renowned Italian opera singer and tenor who performed extensively in Europe and South America.
