The history of the last name Quattrini

The surname Quattrini is of Italian origin, first appearing in records during the late medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Italian term "quattrino," which referred to a small coin minted in several Italian states during the 13th to 16th centuries. This suggests the name may have been adopted by those involved in minting or money-handling professions.

One of the earliest known references to the name can be found in a 14th-century document from the Tuscan city of Siena, where a certain Bindo Quattrini is mentioned as a moneylender. This record provides evidence of the name's association with financial occupations in its early usage.

The Quattrini surname can also be traced to the town of Quattro, located in the Abruzzo region of central Italy. It is possible that some bearers of the name may have originated from this locality, with the name initially indicating a place of origin before evolving into a hereditary surname.
