The surname LUSSO is of Italian origin, and it can be traced back to the late medieval period in the region of Tuscany. The name is believed to have derived from the Italian word "lusso," which means "luxury" or "opulence." This suggests that the name was likely associated with individuals who were involved in trades or professions related to luxury goods or services.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name LUSSO can be found in a document from the city of Florence, dated around the 14th century. This document mentions a certain Luca di LUSSO, who was a prominent merchant dealing in fine fabrics and textiles. The name also appears in several other records from the same period, indicating that it was relatively common in the region.

During the Renaissance era, the LUSSO name gained some prominence in the city of Siena. A notable figure from this time was Girolamo LUSSO (1525-1592), who was a renowned painter and sculptor. His works can still be seen in various churches and palaces throughout Siena and its surrounding areas.

In the 17th century, the LUSSO family established a presence in the city of Naples, where they were involved in the production and trade of luxury goods such as fine ceramics and glassware. One notable member of this branch was Vincenzo LUSSO (1631-1701), a master glassblower whose works were highly sought after by the nobility and wealthy patrons of the time.

Another prominent figure with the LUSSO surname was Carlo LUSSO (1778-1849), who was born in the town of Palermo, Sicily. He was a distinguished architect and engineer, known for his work on several important public buildings and infrastructure projects in Palermo and other parts of Sicily.

Moving into the 19th century, the LUSSO name gained recognition in the field of literature. Antonio LUSSO (1821-1892), born in Naples, was a celebrated poet and writer whose works explored themes of love, nature, and the human condition.
