The history of the last name Salupo

The surname Salupo has its origins in the Iberian peninsula, specifically in the region of Catalonia, Spain, during the late medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Latin word "salupo," which means "a small salt mine or salt works." This suggests that the earliest bearers of the name may have been involved in the salt mining industry or resided near salt mines.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Salupo can be found in a document from the year 1437, which mentions a certain Pedro Salupo, a merchant from the town of Tortosa. This town, located in the southern part of Catalonia, was known for its salt production during that time period.

In the 16th century, the name Salupo appeared in several records from the city of Barcelona, where it was sometimes spelled as "Salupó" or "Salupo." One notable bearer of the name from this era was Juan Salupo, a renowned architect who contributed to the construction of the Santa Maria del Mar church in Barcelona, which was completed in 1383.

During the 17th century, the Salupo family had a presence in the region of Valencia, located on the eastern coast of Spain. records from that time mention a Diego Salupo, who was a prominent landowner and viticulturist, cultivating vineyards in the fertile valleys near Valencia.

In the 18th century, the name Salupo spread to other parts of Europe, including Italy and France. One notable figure was Antonio Salupo, an Italian painter who lived from 1724 to 1793 and was known for his intricate frescoes adorning churches in Rome and Naples.

Another prominent individual bearing the Salupo name was Marie-Thérèse Salupo, a French writer and philosopher who lived from 1768 to 1842. Her works explored themes of human nature and the role of women in society, making her a significant figure in the early feminist movement.
