The history of the last name Mulica

The surname MULICA originates from Italy, specifically the region of Abruzzo. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "mulica," which referred to a small pile or mound of earth. This connection suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals who lived or worked near such natural formations.

Early records of the MULICA surname date back to the 13th century in the town of Castel di Sangro, located in the province of L'Aquila, Abruzzo. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Giovanni MULICA, a landowner mentioned in a deed from 1268.

In the 14th century, the MULICA name appeared in the historic registry of the nearby town of Sulmona, where a family by the name of MULICA owned a vineyard and produced wine. This registry, known as the "Codice Diplomatico Sulmonese," is an important historical document that sheds light on the region's inhabitants during that era.

The MULICA surname has also been associated with the town of Isernia, located in the neighboring region of Molise. Records from the 16th century indicate that a family bearing this name owned a farmstead in the area.

One notable figure in the history of the MULICA surname was Girolamo MULICA, a renowned architect born in Castel di Sangro in 1542. He designed several churches and public buildings throughout Abruzzo and Molise, including the Chiesa di San Rocco in Isernia.

Another prominent MULICA was Antonio MULICA (1680-1748), a painter and fresco artist from Sulmona. His works can be found in various churches and palaces throughout the region, including the Palazzo Comunale in his hometown.

In the 19th century, Giuseppe MULICA (1822-1890) was a respected lawyer and politician from Isernia. He served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament and was known for his advocacy of civil rights and social reforms.

Maria Luisa MULICA (1896-1976), a native of Castel di Sangro, was a celebrated poet and author. Her collections of poetry and short stories captured the essence of life in the Abruzzo region and its rich cultural heritage.

Despite its origins in central Italy, the MULICA surname has since spread to other parts of the country and beyond, carried by individuals who migrated or descended from these early bearers of the name.
