The name appears to have originated in the region of Veneto, particularly around the city of Venice. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the 15th century, when a certain Giovanni Ubriaco is mentioned in a Venetian tax record from 1472.

In the 16th century, the name can be found in various Venetian documents and manuscripts, including a reference to a Nicolo Ubriaco, a minor nobleman from the city's mainland territories in 1543. The surname also appears in records from nearby cities like Padua and Vicenza during this time.
