The surname "SABORI" originates from Italy and can be traced back to the 15th century. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "saborra," which means "ballast" or "weight." This suggests that the name may have been associated with individuals who worked in maritime trades or carried heavy loads.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname can be found in the historic town of Genoa, where a merchant named Giovanni Sabori was mentioned in a trade record from 1472. Genoa was a prominent maritime center during the Renaissance, and it's possible that Giovanni Sabori's surname reflected his involvement in the shipping industry.

Another notable individual with the surname was Niccolò Sabori, a renowned navigator and cartographer who lived in Venice during the late 16th century. He is credited with creating several intricate maps of the Mediterranean region, which were highly valued by sailors and traders of that era.

In the 17th century, the Sabori family established roots in the town of Capri, located in the Bay of Naples. A prominent member of this branch was Luca Sabori, a skilled artisan who specialized in crafting intricate ceramic tiles. His works adorned many of the grand villas and churches in the region, and his legacy continues to be celebrated by local artisans.

Moving into the 18th century, the Sabori name appears in records from the city of Palermo, Sicily. One notable figure was Giuseppe Sabori, a respected scholar and professor of philosophy at the University of Palermo. He authored several treatises on ethics and moral philosophy, which were widely studied throughout Italy.

Another significant individual bearing the Sabori surname was Maria Sabori, a renowned opera singer from Milan who captivated audiences across Europe in the early 19th century. Born in 1798, she was celebrated for her powerful soprano voice and her ability to convey profound emotion through her performances.
