The surname Macedonio has its origins in the Italian language and is derived from the word "Macedonia", which was an ancient region located in the south-eastern part of the Balkan Peninsula. This name is believed to have emerged during the medieval period, likely between the 11th and 13th centuries.

The earliest known record of the surname Macedonio can be traced back to the city of Genoa, Italy, where a family bearing this name was mentioned in a document dating back to the 13th century. It is possible that the name was initially adopted by individuals who had some connection to the region of Macedonia, either through trade, travel, or ancestry.

In the 14th century, the Macedonio family gained prominence in the city of Venice, Italy, where they were involved in various mercantile and political activities. One notable member of this family was Marco Macedonio, who served as a diplomat and ambassador for the Republic of Venice in the late 15th century.

During the Renaissance period, the Macedonio surname spread to other parts of Italy, particularly in the regions of Tuscany and Lazio. In the 16th century, a branch of the family settled in the city of Rome, where they became influential patrons of the arts and architecture. Giovanni Battista Macedonio (1488-1565) was a renowned architect who designed several notable buildings in Rome, including the Church of Santa Maria dell'Anima.

In the 17th century, the Macedonio surname can be found in various records and manuscripts from the Kingdom of Naples, which was part of the Spanish Empire at the time. One prominent figure from this period was Francesco Macedonio (1595-1670), a Neapolitan philosopher and theologian who authored several influential works on metaphysics and ethics.

Over the centuries, the Macedonio surname has been associated with various notable individuals across different fields. Giuseppe Macedonio (1751-1811) was an Italian painter and engraver who gained recognition for his landscapes and religious works.
