Origin
Meaning and origin of Resmini
The surname RESMINI is of Italian origin, with its roots traced back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from the northern region of Italy, particularly in the areas around the cities of Milan and Bergamo.
One of the earliest known references to the surname RESMINI can be found in a 14th-century document from the Archivio di Stato di Milano, where it appears as "Resmino." This suggests that the name may have evolved from an occupational title or a nickname, possibly related to a trade or profession.
In the 15th century, the name RESMINI appeared in several records from the town of Bergamo, indicating its presence in the region. One notable figure from this era was Giovanni Resmini, a respected scholar and philosopher who lived from 1432 to 1498.
The 16th century saw the name RESMINI spread further across northern Italy, with records showing its presence in cities like Brescia and Verona. During this time, the surname was also found in its variant spellings, such as "Resmino" and "Resmina."
In the 17th century, a prominent member of the RESMINI family was Luca Resmini (1628-1692), a renowned architect who designed several churches and palaces in the city of Milan. His contributions to the architectural landscape of the city are still celebrated today.
As the centuries passed, the RESMINI surname continued to be associated with notable individuals. One such figure was Pietro Resmini (1789-1857), a prominent lawyer and politician who served as a member of the Italian Parliament during the early years of the Kingdom of Italy.
Another notable RESMINI was Maria Resmini (1864-1932), a celebrated opera singer who performed on stages across Europe in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Her performances were widely acclaimed, and she is remembered as one of the finest sopranos of her time.
While the RESMINI surname has its roots in northern Italy, it has since spread to other parts of the country and beyond, with bearers of the name found in various regions and even across international borders.

The bar chart below shows how Resmini bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Resmini surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
