The history of the last name Mammone

The surname Mammone originated in Italy, specifically in the southern region of Calabria. It is believed to have emerged during the Middle Ages, around the 11th or 12th century. The name is derived from the Latin word "mammo," which means breast or teat, suggesting a possible connection to the nursing or feeding of infants.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Mammone can be found in the "Codice Diplomatico Barese," a collection of medieval documents from the city of Bari, dated back to the 12th century. This suggests that the name was already present in southern Italy during that time period.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Mammone was a prominent jurist and legal scholar from the town of Cosenza in Calabria. He authored several treatises on law and jurisprudence that were widely studied and referenced during the Renaissance period.

During the 15th century, a branch of the Mammone family settled in the town of Catanzaro, also located in Calabria. This branch produced several notable individuals, including Niccolò Mammone, a respected physician and philosopher who lived from 1450 to 1525.

In the 16th century, a variant spelling of the name, "Mamone," was found in records from the town of Reggio Calabria. This variation is believed to have originated from the local dialect or pronunciation of the name in that region.

In the 17th century, a prominent figure named Gaetano Mammone (1621-1692) was a celebrated poet and playwright from the city of Naples. His works, which often explored themes of love and human nature, were highly regarded during his lifetime and influenced later generations of Italian writers.

Throughout the 18th and 19th centuries, the Mammone surname continued to be present in various regions of southern Italy, particularly in Calabria and the surrounding areas. Notable individuals from this period include Giuseppe Mammone (1760-1832), a renowned architect who designed several churches and public buildings in the city of Cosenza.

While the name Mammone is predominantly found in Italy, particularly in the southern regions, it has also spread to other parts of the world through immigration and migration patterns over the centuries.
