The history of the last name Manese

The surname MANESE is believed to have originated in Italy, where it was first documented in the 13th century. It is thought to have derived from the Latin word "manere," meaning "to remain" or "to abide," and may have been initially used as a descriptive surname for someone who resided permanently in a particular location.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname MANESE can be found in a document from the city of Bologna, dated 1287. This document mentions a certain Guido Manese, a merchant who owned several properties in the city's central district.

In the 14th century, the name MANESE appeared in various records from the regions of Tuscany and Umbria. Notable individuals bearing this surname during this time included Ser Manese, a notary from the town of Perugia, who lived between 1320 and 1385.

The MANESE surname was also present in the Venetian Republic during the Renaissance period. One of the most famous individuals with this name was Niccolò Manese, a renowned painter and architect who lived from 1444 to 1510. His works can still be admired in several churches and palaces throughout Venice.

In the 16th century, the MANESE family established itself in the Kingdom of Naples, where they were recognized as members of the local nobility. One notable figure from this branch was Giulio Manese, who served as a military commander during the Italian Wars against the French and Spanish forces between 1494 and 1559.

Another prominent individual bearing the MANESE surname was Francesco Manese, a Jesuit scholar and theologian who lived from 1572 to 1630. He taught at various universities in Italy and authored several influential works on philosophy and theology.

While the MANESE surname has its roots in Italy, it has since spread to other parts of the world due to migration patterns over the centuries.
