Origin
Meaning and origin of Tagliere
The surname Tagliere has its origins in Italy, specifically in the northern regions of the country. It is believed to have emerged during the late medieval period, around the 13th or 14th century.
The name Tagliere is derived from the Italian word "tagliere," which means a cutting board or a chopping block. This connection suggests that the surname may have been initially associated with individuals who worked as butchers, bakers, or in other professions that required the use of a cutting board.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Tagliere can be found in the historical documents of Lombardy, a region in northern Italy. In a census record from the year 1385, a certain Giovanni Tagliere is mentioned as a resident of the town of Bergamo.
There are also references to the Tagliere family in the archives of the city of Parma, dating back to the 15th century. A notable figure from this period was Antonio Tagliere, a merchant who lived between 1450 and 1521.
During the Renaissance period, the Tagliere surname gained prominence in the city of Venice. In the 16th century, a family of artists bearing the name Tagliere made significant contributions to the Venetian art scene. The most renowned among them was Marco Tagliere, a painter who lived from 1520 to 1592.
Another notable individual with the surname Tagliere was Girolamo Tagliere, a scholar and writer who lived in the 17th century. He was born in the city of Padua in 1612 and was renowned for his works on philosophy and literature.
In the 18th century, the Tagliere family had a presence in the city of Naples, where they were involved in the textile trade. One member, Francesco Tagliere (1735-1812), was a successful merchant who played a role in the city's economic affairs.
While the surname Tagliere is not as common as some other Italian surnames, it has been carried by individuals from various walks of life throughout history, from artists and scholars to merchants and tradesmen.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. 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. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Tagliere surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
