The surname TARULA is believed to have originated in Italy, with its roots dating back to the 12th century. It is thought to be derived from the Latin word "terra," meaning "land" or "earth," indicating that the name may have been given to someone who worked the land or was associated with agriculture.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the TARULA name can be found in a document from the city of Siena, dated 1214. This document mentions a certain "Petrus Tarula," who was likely a landowner or farmer in the region.

During the 13th and 14th centuries, the name appeared in various records and manuscripts across Tuscany and Umbria, suggesting that families bearing the TARULA surname were spread throughout central Italy. Some variations in spelling, such as "Tarulli" and "Tarulo," were also documented during this period.

In the late 15th century, a notable figure named Giovanni Tarula (1462-1529) was a renowned scholar and humanist from the city of Perugia. He was known for his writings on philosophy and literature, and his contributions to the intellectual culture of the Renaissance.

Another prominent TARULA was Andrea Tarula (1576-1648), a skilled architect and engineer from Florence. He was responsible for designing several notable buildings and structures in the city, including the Church of San Gaetano and the Palazzo Tarula, which still stands today.

During the 17th century, the TARULA name gained recognition in the field of music. Francesco Tarula (1620-1677) was a celebrated composer and organist who worked in various churches and courts throughout Italy. His compositions, particularly his sacred works, were highly regarded during his lifetime.

In the 18th century, a notable figure named Tommaso Tarula (1712-1789) was a prominent lawyer and judge in the city of Naples. He was known for his expertise in civil law and his fair judgments, earning him a respected reputation among his peers.
