The history of the last name Notari

The surname Notari originated in Italy during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Italian word "notaro," which means "notary" or "scribe." The name was initially given to individuals who worked as notaries, scribes, or clerks, responsible for drafting legal documents and keeping records.

Notari is believed to have first appeared in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna, where the profession of notary was particularly prominent. It is possible that the name may have been recorded in early Italian historical documents, such as municipal records or legal contracts.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Notari can be found in the 13th century, with the mention of Ser Notaro Notari, a notary from Florence who lived around 1250. Another notable figure was Giuliano Notari, a renowned architect and sculptor from the 15th century, born in Siena around 1420.

In the 16th century, the Notari family of Genoa produced several notable individuals, including Giacomo Notari (1520-1589), a respected jurist and legal scholar, and Gian Battista Notari (1550-1622), a prolific artist and architect.

During the Renaissance period, the Notari surname was also associated with the arts. Girolamo Notari (1520-1590) was an Italian painter and engraver from Modena, known for his religious works and portraits.

As the name spread across Italy, various spellings emerged, such as Notaro, Notaio, and Notaro di Notari, reflecting regional linguistic variations and the tendency to add occupational designations to surnames.

Notari is a surname that has been carried by individuals from diverse backgrounds throughout Italian history, from legal professionals and scholars to artists and architects. While it originated as an occupational name, it has since become a widespread Italian surname, transcending its initial vocational associations.
