The history of the last name Sarcione

The surname Sarcione is of Italian origin, specifically from the southern regions of Italy. It is believed to have derived from the Italian word "sarcione," meaning a type of thorny shrub or bush. The name likely originated as a nickname or descriptive name for someone who lived near or worked with these types of plants.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Sarcione can be found in historical records from the 16th century in the region of Campania, particularly in the city of Naples. During this time period, the name was sometimes spelled as "Sarciuni" or "Sarzione."

In the late 17th century, a notable figure named Matteo Sarcione (1650-1718) was a renowned painter and artist from the town of Civitavecchia, near Rome. His works were highly regarded during his lifetime and can still be found in various churches and galleries throughout Italy.

Another historical figure bearing the Sarcione surname was Gaetano Sarcione (1785-1853), a prominent lawyer and politician from the city of Bari in the Puglia region. He played a significant role in the Italian unification movement during the 19th century.

This was likely due to Italian immigration during that time period. One notable individual was Antonio Sarcione (1871-1945), an Italian-American businessman and community leader in New York City.

Another individual of note was Maria Sarcione (1920-2005), an Italian-American author and educator who wrote several books on Italian culture and language. She was born in Calabria, Italy, but later emigrated to the United States.
