Origin
Meaning and origin of Marcucci
The surname Marcucci is of Italian origin, and it is believed to have originated in the regions of Tuscany and Umbria during the medieval period. The name is derived from the Latin name "Marcus," which was a common name in ancient Rome.
The earliest recorded instances of the Marcucci surname can be traced back to the 13th century, when it appeared in various historical documents and records from the cities of Florence and Perugia. The name was likely used as a patronymic, meaning "son of Marcus," or as a surname derived from a place name containing the root "Marc."
In the 14th century, the Marcucci family became prominent in the city of Perugia, where they held influential positions in the local government and commerce. One notable member of the family was Giovanni Marcucci, who served as a magistrate and diplomat in the mid-1300s.
During the Renaissance period, the Marcucci surname gained further prominence in the arts and literature. Antonio Marcucci (1489-1554) was a renowned painter from Perugia, known for his religious works and frescoes adorning churches throughout central Italy.
The Marcucci name also appeared in historical records from other Italian regions, such as Lazio and Campania. In the 17th century, Girolamo Marcucci (1621-1687) was a celebrated composer and musician from Naples, renowned for his contributions to the development of the Italian Baroque style.
In the 19th century, the Marcucci surname was associated with the Italian Risorgimento, the movement for the unification of Italy. Giuseppe Marcucci (1810-1875) was a patriot and revolutionary who fought for Italian independence and later served as a member of the parliament in the newly unified Kingdom of Italy.
Another notable figure with the Marcucci surname was Vincenzo Marcucci (1859-1935), an Italian politician and lawyer who served as the Minister of Agriculture, Industry, and Commerce in the early 20th century.
The Marcucci surname has also been carried by individuals in various other fields, such as science, business, and sports, further contributing to its historical significance and cultural impact across Italy and beyond.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Marcucci surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
