The history of the last name Rulloda

The surname RULLODA originated in the northern regions of Italy during the medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Latin word "rotulus," meaning a small roll or scroll. This suggests that the earliest bearers of this name may have been scribes, record keepers, or perhaps even parchment makers.

The name first appears in historical records from the 11th century, where it is mentioned in a document detailing land grants in the city of Genoa. A certain Guido RULLODA is listed as a landowner in the year 1096. This early spelling variation, "Rulloda," likely evolved from the original Latin root over time.

During the 13th century, the RULLODA name spread to other parts of northern Italy, particularly in the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy. One notable bearer was Giacomo RULLODA, a merchant from Milan who traveled extensively throughout Europe on trade routes. He is mentioned in several business contracts dating from 1274 to 1289.

In the 15th century, a branch of the RULLODA family settled in the city of Venice, where they became influential members of the local nobility. The most prominent figure from this lineage was Marcantonio RULLODA, a renowned scholar and diplomat who served as an ambassador for the Venetian Republic in the court of King Charles VIII of France in the late 1400s.

The RULLODA name can also be found in several historical manuscripts and records from the 16th and 17th centuries. For example, a certain Giovanni RULLODA is listed as a member of the Accademia dei Lincei, one of the earliest scientific academies in Europe, founded in Rome in 1603.

Other notable individuals with the RULLODA surname include Pietro RULLODA, a celebrated painter from the city of Genoa who lived in the early 17th century, and Bartolomeo RULLODA, a lawyer and legal scholar from Turin who authored several influential treatises on civil law in the late 1600s.

While the RULLODA name has its roots in northern Italy, over the centuries it has spread to other parts of Europe and even beyond, carried by various branches of the family as they migrated and established new lineages in different regions.
