The history of the last name Naccarato

The surname Naccarato is of Italian origin, specifically from the region of Campania in Southern Italy. It is derived from the Italian word "nacchera," which means "tambourine," suggesting that the name may have been given to someone who played the tambourine or was associated with music and entertainment.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Naccarato can be traced back to the 16th century in the town of Amalfi, a coastal town in the province of Salerno. The name is believed to have originated in this area and later spread to other parts of Italy and beyond.

In the late 16th century, a prominent figure named Giovanni Battista Naccarato (born around 1560) was a renowned musician and composer in Naples. He is credited with composing several madrigals and other works that were popular during the Renaissance period.

Another notable individual with this surname was Tommaso Naccarato (1685-1768), a painter from the city of Sorrento. He is known for his religious paintings and frescoes that adorned several churches in the region.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Naccarato family was prominent in the town of Amalfi, with several members serving as local officials and landowners. One such individual was Domenico Naccarato (1720-1792), who held the position of mayor of Amalfi for several years.

In the 19th century, a man named Carlo Naccarato (1825-1891) gained recognition as a skilled craftsman and woodcarver. His intricate works were highly sought after and can still be found in museums and private collections.
