The history of the last name Sarino

The surname Sarino originated in Italy, with its roots traced back to the 14th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Latin word "sarus," meaning "hoe" or "mattock," which was a tool used for digging and cultivating the land. This suggests that the earliest bearers of this surname were likely involved in agricultural or farming activities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the historical records of the commune of Sarno, located in the province of Salerno, Campania region of southern Italy. It is possible that the surname Sarino may have originated from this particular location, as it was a common practice to adopt surnames based on place names during that era.

In the 15th century, the Sarino family was documented as residing in the city of Naples, where they held influential positions within the local community. Notably, Giovanni Sarino (1455-1523) was a renowned jurist and legal scholar who served as a judge in the Sacro Regio Consiglio, the highest court of the Kingdom of Naples.

During the Renaissance period, the Sarino family produced several notable artists and intellectuals. One such figure was Girolamo Sarino (1521-1589), a painter and architect who contributed to the embellishment of various churches and palaces in Naples and its surrounding areas.

In the 17th century, Cesare Sarino (1619-1684) was a highly respected philosopher and theologian who taught at the University of Naples. His works on metaphysics and natural philosophy were widely studied and influential during his lifetime.

Another notable bearer of the Sarino surname was Vincenzo Sarino (1745-1819), a military officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars and rose to the rank of general in the Neapolitan army. His bravery and leadership were recognized with numerous honors and decorations.
