The history of the last name Quatrone

The surname Quatrone originates from Italy, with roots that can be traced back to the Middle Ages. It is believed to have first emerged in the region of Campania, particularly in the city of Naples and its surrounding areas.

One of the earliest theories suggests that the name Quatrone is derived from the Italian word "quattro," meaning four. This could indicate that the name was initially associated with a family or individual who had some connection to the number four, perhaps residing at the fourth house on a street or being the fourth child in a family.

Another possibility is that the name has its origins in the Latin word "quaternus," which translates to "a set of four." This could allude to a group or association of four individuals who shared a common bond or profession, eventually adopting the surname Quatrone to identify themselves collectively.

Historical records from the 13th century mention a notable figure named Niccolò Quatrone, a wealthy merchant and landowner from the city of Naples. His name appears in several documents related to trade agreements and property transactions, indicating the presence of the Quatrone surname in the region during that time.

In the 15th century, a manuscript from the Benedictine monastery in Montecassino references a monk named Brother Antonio Quatrone, who was renowned for his expertise in illuminating manuscripts and creating intricate religious artworks.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Quatrone can be found in the 1492 census records of the Kingdom of Naples, which lists several families bearing this name residing in various towns and villages within the region.

Throughout the centuries, the Quatrone surname has been associated with several notable individuals, including:

1. Girolamo Quatrone (1570-1638), a renowned architect from Naples who designed several churches and palaces in the Baroque style.
2. Tommaso Quatrone (1688-1764), a Neapolitan playwright and poet known for his satirical works and comedies.
3. Maria Quatrone (1755-1831), an Italian opera singer and prima donna who performed in some of the most prestigious theaters of her time.

5. Antonio Quatrone (1867-1944), a prominent Italian lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Italian parliament.
