The history of the last name Mangieri

The surname Mangieri is of Italian origin, specifically from the southern regions of Campania and Basilicata. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "mangiare," which means "to eat," potentially indicating an occupation or trade related to food or hospitality in the family's history.

The earliest recorded instances of the Mangieri name can be traced back to the 16th century in various historical documents and records from the Italian peninsula. One notable example is a record from the city of Naples in 1587, which mentions a Giovanni Mangieri, a merchant involved in the local trade guild.

In the 17th century, the Mangieri name appeared in several municipal records and parish registers across the Campania region. One such record from 1612 in the town of Avellino mentions a Francesco Mangieri, a landowner and local magistrate.

As the Mangieri family spread across Italy over the centuries, variations in spelling emerged, including Manghieri, Mangera, and Mangerio. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and local pronunciations.

One of the earliest documented instances of the Mangieri name outside of Italy dates back to the late 18th century in Spain, where a Antonio Mangieri, born in 1762, was a renowned painter and artist who worked for the Spanish royal court.

In the 19th century, several notable individuals bearing the Mangieri surname made significant contributions in various fields. Giuseppe Mangieri (1819-1892) was an Italian politician and journalist who played a role in the Risorgimento movement for Italian unification. Vincenzo Mangieri (1846-1917) was a renowned Italian architect and engineer who designed several iconic buildings and structures in Naples.

Other notable figures with the Mangieri surname include Raffaele Mangieri (1887-1968), an Italian composer and musician who contributed to the development of Neapolitan music, and Luciano Mangieri (1918-2008), an Italian-American artist and sculptor known for his public art installations in New York City.

While the Mangieri surname has its roots in southern Italy, it has since spread to various parts of the world, carried by Italian emigrants and their descendants. However, its origins can be traced back to the regions of Campania and Basilicata, where it emerged as a surname centuries ago.
