The history of the last name Quartarone

The surname Quartarone originates from Italy, likely emerging in the late medieval period or Renaissance era. It is believed to be derived from the Italian word "quartaro," which referred to a measure or container used for storing liquids or grains, typically a quarter of a larger unit. This connection suggests that the name may have been an occupational surname initially used to identify someone who worked with these containers or dealt in the trade of liquids or grains.

The earliest known records of the Quartarone surname can be traced back to Sicily, where it was particularly prominent in the areas around Palermo and Trapani. The name appears in various historical documents from the 16th and 17th centuries, such as baptismal records and property deeds. One notable example is Giuseppe Quartarone, a merchant and landowner from Palermo who lived in the late 16th century.

As the name spread, it also took on variations in spelling, including Quartararo, Quartaro, and Quartarone. These variations likely arose from regional dialects and the adaptation of the name to different regions. For instance, the Quartararo spelling is more commonly found in the Sicilian town of Partinico, while Quartaro is more prevalent in the areas around Palermo.

In the 18th century, the name gained prominence with the birth of Giovanni Battista Quartarone (1732-1810), a renowned Sicilian architect and engineer. His notable works include the Chiesa di San Domenico in Palermo and the Palazzo Valguarnera-Gangi. Another notable figure was Antonio Quartarone (1792-1868), a Sicilian painter known for his religious and historical works.

As Italian immigrants began to settle in other parts of the world, the Quartarone surname spread to new regions. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several individuals bearing this name can be found in historical records from North and South America, as well as Australia. For example, Giuseppe Quartarone (1869-1946) was an Italian-American businessman and philanthropist who established successful enterprises in California.

Other notable individuals with the Quartarone surname include Gaetano Quartarone (1890-1962), an Italian opera singer known for his performances at La Scala and the Metropolitan Opera, and Rosario Quartarone (1914-1998), an Italian-Canadian artist and sculptor renowned for his religious works in Montreal.
