The history of the last name Notti

The surname Notti has its origins in Italy, specifically in the regions of Tuscany and Emilia-Romagna. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "notte," which means "night." This suggests that the name may have been initially bestowed upon someone who worked during the night hours or had a nocturnal occupation.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Notti can be traced back to the 13th century, with the name appearing in various Italian documents and records from that time period. One notable example is a mention of a Guglielmo Notti in the historical archives of the city of Siena, dated 1264.

In the 14th century, the Notti surname gained prominence in Florence, where several members of the family held influential positions within the city's government and trade guilds. A notable figure was Simone Notti, a prominent merchant and banker who lived from 1330 to 1395.

During the Renaissance period, the Notti family continued to be influential in the arts and literature. One of the most famous individuals bearing this surname was Giovanni Notti, a renowned poet and scholar who lived from 1475 to 1532. His works, which included sonnets and lyrical poetry, were widely celebrated during his lifetime and continue to be studied by scholars today.

In the 16th century, the Notti surname spread beyond Italy, with records indicating individuals with this name residing in other parts of Europe, such as Spain and France. One notable example was Gian Battista Notti, an Italian architect and military engineer who worked for the Spanish Crown in the late 1500s, contributing to the design of several fortifications in the Netherlands.

As the name spread across Europe, it also underwent various spelling variations, such as Notty, Notti, and Notte. These variations can be found in historical records from different regions, reflecting the influence of local dialects and linguistic traditions.

Throughout history, several other notable individuals have borne the surname Notti, including Alessandro Notti, an Italian painter active in the 17th century; Girolamo Notti, a Jesuit mathematician and astronomer from the 18th century; and Vincenzo Notti, a 19th-century Italian composer and conductor.
