The history of the last name Succo

The surname Succo is believed to have originated from Italy, specifically from the region of Veneto, during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Italian word "succo," meaning juice or sap, suggesting a possible connection to agricultural or winemaking professions in the region's past.

One of the earliest known references to the name Succo can be found in a registry of land deeds from the city of Verona, dating back to the early 14th century. This document mentions a certain Pietro Succo, who owned a vineyard in the outskirts of the city.

Another historical record that mentions the Succo surname is a manuscript from the Venetian archives, dated around the year 1450. It contains a list of merchants and tradesmen, among which a Nicolo Succo is listed as a wine merchant.

In the 16th century, a notable figure bearing the Succo name was Antonio Succo, a renowned painter from the city of Vicenza. Born in 1520, he was known for his religious and mythological works, many of which can still be found in churches and galleries throughout the Veneto region.

During the Renaissance period, the Succo family also produced several scholars and intellectuals. One such figure was Giovanni Battista Succo, a philosopher and writer born in Verona in 1562. He is best known for his treatise on natural philosophy, published in 1612.

Another prominent individual with the Succo surname was Giacomo Succo, a military officer who served in the Venetian army during the 17th century. He participated in several battles against the Ottoman Empire and was known for his strategic skills and bravery on the battlefield.

As the Succo family spread across Italy and beyond, various spellings and variations of the name emerged, such as Succhi, Succa, and Succi. However, the core meaning and origins of the name remained rooted in the region of Veneto and its historical ties to agriculture and winemaking.
