The history of the last name Neddo

The surname NEDDO has its origins in Italy, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from the Italian region of Abruzzo, specifically in the area around the town of Pescocostanzo. The name is derived from the Latin word "nidus," meaning "nest," which suggests that it may have been an occupational name for someone who worked with birds or collected bird nests.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the NEDDO surname can be found in the historic Codice Diplomatico dei Re Aragonesi, a collection of official documents from the Kingdom of Naples during the 15th century. The name appears in a document dated 1437, referring to a certain Nicola NEDDO, a landowner from the town of Pescocostanzo.

In the 16th century, the NEDDO family gained prominence in the region of Abruzzo. Historical records mention a Antonio NEDDO (1512-1587), who served as a magistrate in the town of Sulmona and was renowned for his legal expertise and fair judgments.

During the 17th century, the NEDDO surname spread beyond Abruzzo, with some members of the family establishing themselves in neighboring regions. One notable figure was Girolamo NEDDO (1621-1698), a scholar and philosopher from the city of Naples, who wrote extensively on metaphysics and the nature of reality.

The 18th century saw the emergence of a prominent NEDDO family in the city of Rome. Pietro NEDDO (1738-1811) was a renowned architect who contributed to the design of several churches and palaces in the city, including the Church of Sant'Agnese in Agone and the Palazzo Borghese.

In the 19th century, a branch of the NEDDO family migrated to the United States, where they settled in various parts of the country. One notable American NEDDO was Vincenzo NEDDO (1856-1932), a successful businessman and philanthropist from New York City, who founded the NEDDO Foundation to support educational initiatives for underprivileged children.
