The history of the last name Recine

The surname RECINE is believed to have originated in Italy during the medieval period. The name is thought to be derived from the Latin word "rex" meaning "king" or "ruler," suggesting that the earliest bearers of this name may have held positions of authority or noble status.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the RECINE surname can be found in the ancient records of the city of Siena, where a family by that name is mentioned in documents dating back to the 13th century. These records indicate that the RECINE family was involved in local politics and held positions of influence within the city's governing councils.

During the Renaissance era, the RECINE name gained further prominence in Italy, particularly in the regions of Tuscany and Umbria. Several notable figures bearing this surname emerged during this time, including the Renaissance painter and architect Pietro RECINE (1460-1528), whose works can still be seen in various churches and palaces throughout central Italy.

Another prominent individual with the RECINE surname was the 16th-century Italian humanist scholar and philosopher, Giovanni RECINE (1492-1567). He was widely renowned for his writings on ethics and philosophy, and his works were widely circulated throughout Europe during his lifetime.

In the 17th century, the RECINE name spread beyond Italy as members of the family migrated to other parts of Europe. One notable figure from this period was the French military officer and engineer, Jacques RECINE (1620-1688), who served under King Louis XIV and played a crucial role in the construction of fortifications and defensive works throughout France.

As the centuries passed, the RECINE surname continued to be carried by individuals of note, such as the 19th-century Italian novelist and playwright, Giuseppe RECINE (1812-1889), whose works explored themes of social injustice and political reform.

Despite its long and illustrious history, the RECINE surname remains relatively uncommon, particularly outside of Italy. However, it serves as a testament to the rich cultural heritage and influential contributions of those who have borne this name throughout the centuries.
