The history of the last name Marcuccilli

The surname Marcuccilli is of Italian origin, originating from the central regions of the country during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Latin personal name "Marcus," which was a common Roman praenomen or given name. The suffix "-ucci" or "-uccilli" was a diminutive form, indicating a familial relationship or affiliation with the original name.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the 13th century, where it appeared in various municipal records from the towns of Perugia and Assisi in the region of Umbria. These records often referred to individuals involved in trades or crafts, suggesting that the name may have been associated with a particular profession or occupation.

In the 14th century, the name Marcuccilli was documented in the historic chronicles of the city of Spoleto, located in the region of Umbria. These chronicles mention a notable figure named Marcuccio Marcuccilli, who was a respected merchant and civic leader during that time period.

Another significant reference to the surname can be found in the 16th century, when a scholar and humanist known as Petrus Marcuccilli was born in the town of Montefalco in 1525. He gained recognition for his contributions to the study of classical literature and philosophy.

During the Renaissance period, the name Marcuccilli appeared in various artistic and literary circles. One notable example is Giovanni Battista Marcuccilli, a painter from Perugia who was active in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. His works can be found in several churches and galleries throughout central Italy.

In the 18th century, a prominent figure named Antonio Marcuccilli was born in the town of Foligno in 1712. He was a respected jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the papal courts of Rome.

Throughout history, the surname Marcuccilli has maintained a strong presence in the central regions of Italy, particularly in the areas of Umbria and Lazio.
