The history of the last name Reano

The surname Reano originated in the Piedmont region of northern Italy, specifically in the province of Cuneo. Its roots can be traced back to the 12th century, and it is believed to have derived from the Old Italian word "reno," which means "sand" or "gravel."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Reano appears in a document from 1275, which mentions a certain "Guglielmo Reano" from the town of Boves, near Cuneo. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area by the late 13th century.

In the 14th century, the Reano family played a significant role in the history of the Piedmont region. Records show that in 1346, a certain Giovanni Reano was among the citizens of Cuneo who swore allegiance to the Count of Savoy, signifying the family's prominence in the local nobility.

The name Reano has also been linked to various place names in the Piedmont region. For instance, the hamlet of "Reano" near the town of Boves is believed to have been named after the family, or perhaps the family derived its name from this location.

In the 19th century, Giuseppe Reano (1825-1904) was a prominent Italian politician and statesman who served as a deputy in the Parliament of the Kingdom of Sardinia and later in the Italian Chamber of Deputies.
