The history of the last name Naclerio

The surname Naclerio has its origins in Italy, particularly in the southern regions of Campania and Calabria.

This indicates that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near or worked with nut trees.

In the late 13th century, records show the name Naclerio appearing in the town of Salerno, located in the Campania region. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Catasto Onciario, a tax register compiled in 1277, where a certain Guglielmo Naclerio is mentioned as a landowner in the area.

During the Renaissance period, the Naclerio family gained prominence in the city of Naples. Notable members include Gian Battista Naclerio (1510-1582), a renowned jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the Sacro Regio Consiglio, the highest court of the Kingdom of Naples. His work, "De Feudis," was widely studied and influential in the field of feudal law.

In the 17th century, the name Naclerio was also found in the town of Stilo, located in the province of Reggio Calabria. Records from the local church archives mention a Francesco Naclerio, who was born in 1624 and served as a respected notary in the town.

Another notable figure was Vincenzo Naclerio (1770-1842), a Neapolitan painter and engraver known for his landscapes and architectural works. He studied under the renowned artist Filippo Hackert and his paintings can be found in various museums and private collections throughout Italy.

In the 19th century, the Naclerio family had a presence in the town of Campobasso, in the Molise region. Carlo Naclerio (1815-1893) was a prominent lawyer and politician who served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament during the early years of the unified Kingdom of Italy.
