The history of the last name Maneri

The surname Maneri has its origins in the Italian region of Tuscany, dating back to the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is believed to be derived from the Latin word "maner," which means "to remain" or "to dwell," suggesting that the name may have originated from a location or settlement where the family resided.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the Maneri name can be found in the Florentine tax records of the late 13th century, where a certain Giovanni Maneri is listed as a landowner. This suggests that the family may have held some prominence in the region at that time.

In the 14th century, a branch of the Maneri family settled in the town of Siena, where they became involved in the local wool trade. Records from this period show a Maneri family crest featuring a lion rampant, indicating their noble status.

During the Renaissance period, the name Maneri gained further recognition through the achievements of several notable individuals. In the 15th century, Giacomo Maneri (1423-1497) was a renowned painter and fresco artist who worked on various commissions for churches and palaces in Florence and Siena.

Another prominent figure was Cecilia Maneri (1508-1581), a celebrated poet and writer who was part of the literary circle surrounding the Medici family. Her collection of sonnets and lyrical poems was widely acclaimed during her lifetime.

In the 17th century, the Maneri family produced a notable military leader in the form of Francesco Maneri (1612-1678). He served as a captain in the Tuscan army and played a crucial role in defending the city of Siena during the War of the Mantuan Succession.

The 19th century saw the rise of Guglielmo Maneri (1831-1907), a prominent lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Italian parliament and was instrumental in drafting several important legal reforms.

Throughout the centuries, the Maneri name has also been associated with various place names and locations in Tuscany, such as the village of Maneri near Siena, which may have been the original settlement from which the family derived their name.
