The history of the last name Mallare

The surname "MALLARE" is believed to have its origins in Italy, dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to have derived from the Italian word "mallare," which means "to hammer" or "to forge," suggesting that the name may have been associated with a profession or trade related to metalworking.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the historical records of the Venetian Republic, where a family by the name of Mallare resided in the city of Venice in the late 1500s. There are also references to a Mallare family in the town of Salerno, located in the southern region of Campania, during the same time period.

In the 17th century, the Mallare name appears in several documents from the Papal States, including a record of a Giovanni Battista Mallare, a renowned goldsmith who lived in Rome between 1620 and 1685. His intricate metalwork and jewelry pieces were highly sought after by the noble families of the time.

Moving into the 18th century, the name Mallare can be traced to the village of Castelfranco Veneto, near Treviso in the Veneto region. Here, a family of Mallare artisans and blacksmiths established themselves, carrying on the tradition of metalworking that the name had long been associated with.

One notable figure from this era was Antonio Mallare (1725-1798), a skilled blacksmith who gained recognition for his innovative techniques in forging tools and agricultural implements. His work was widely praised for its durability and craftsmanship.

In the 19th century, the Mallare name spread further across Italy and beyond. Giuseppe Mallare (1810-1887), a businessman from Genoa, established a successful trading company that exported Italian goods to various parts of Europe and the Americas.

Another influential figure was Maria Mallare (1845-1923), a pioneering educator from Naples who advocated for the education of women and established several schools in the region.

As the centuries progressed, the Mallare name continued to be represented across various professions and disciplines, from artists and writers to scientists and intellectuals. While its origins may lie in the metalworking trades of ancient Italy, the name has since taken on a broader significance, reflecting the diverse contributions of those who have carried it throughout history.
