The history of the last name Sartoris

The surname Sartoris has its origins in Italy, dating back to the medieval period. It is derived from the Italian word "sartore," which means "tailor." This occupational surname was likely given to an ancestor who worked as a tailor or in a similar trade involving the making or mending of clothing.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Sartoris can be found in various Italian records and documents from the 13th and 14th centuries. It was particularly prevalent in the regions of Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio, where tailoring and textile industries were well-established.

One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Guido Sartoris, a merchant from Florence who lived in the late 13th century. His name appears in several trade records and contracts from that time period.

In the 15th century, the name Sartoris is mentioned in the records of the city of Perugia, where a family of tailors by that name resided. These records include property transactions and guild memberships.

During the Renaissance era, a notable figure with the Sartoris surname was Giovanni Sartoris, a renowned Italian painter and architect from Genoa. Born in 1522, he was commissioned to design several churches and palaces in his native city and other parts of northern Italy.

Another individual of note was Filippo Sartoris, a Venetian scholar and writer who lived in the 16th century. He authored several works on philosophy and literature, and his writings were widely circulated throughout Europe during his lifetime.

In the 18th century, a branch of the Sartoris family migrated to Spain, where the surname took on the spelling "Sartorius." One member of this branch, Manuel Sartorius y Tarradellas, was a prominent military officer and colonial administrator who served as the Governor of Spanish Florida in the late 1700s.

As the Sartoris name spread throughout Italy and other parts of Europe, it often underwent slight variations in spelling, such as Sartori, Sartorio, or Sartori. However, the core meaning and occupational origin remained the same, reflecting the family's historical ties to the tailoring trade.
