Origin
Meaning and origin of Statuto
The surname Statuto originated in Italy during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century. It is derived from the Italian word "statuto," meaning "statute" or "regulation," suggesting that the name may have been initially given to someone involved in drafting or enforcing laws or rules.
The earliest known records of the Statuto name can be traced back to the city of Naples, located in the Campania region of southern Italy. In the 14th century, a document from the city archives mentions a certain "Nicolo Statuto," who was likely a legal or administrative official of some kind.
By the 15th century, the Statuto name had spread to other parts of Italy, including the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. One notable individual from this period was Giovanni Statuto (1410-1478), a renowned jurist and legal scholar from the city of Pavia, who authored several influential treatises on Italian law.
In the 16th century, the Statuto family established itself in the city of Verona, where they became prominent members of the local nobility. A notable figure from this branch was Alessandro Statuto (1570-1632), a respected military commander who served in the armies of the Venetian Republic.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Statuto name continued to be associated with the legal and administrative professions in various Italian cities. For example, Girolamo Statuto (1620-1692) was a highly regarded lawyer and judge in the city of Milan, while Benedetto Statuto (1745-1818) served as a magistrate in the Kingdom of Naples.
Another notable figure with the Statuto surname was Vincenzo Statuto (1785-1861), a prominent Neapolitan lawyer and politician who played a significant role in the Italian unification movement of the 19th century. He was a member of the Neapolitan Parliament and an advocate for constitutional reforms and liberal ideals.
Throughout its history, the Statuto surname has maintained a strong connection to the legal and administrative fields in Italy, reflecting its origins as a name associated with those involved in drafting and enforcing rules and regulations.

When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.

Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers.
