The history of the last name Uliano

The surname ULIANO is of Italian origin, specifically from the regions of Campania and Calabria in southern Italy. It is thought to have derived from the Latin personal name "Iulianus," which was derived from the ancient Roman family name "Iulius." The name "Iulianus" was relatively common during the Roman era, and it is believed to have originated from the Latin word "iulus," meaning "downy-bearded."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname ULIANO can be traced back to the 12th century, where it appeared in historical documents from the city of Naples. During this time, the name was often spelled as "Iuliano" or "Iuliani," reflecting its Latin roots. In the 13th century, the surname was also found in records from the town of Catanzaro in the region of Calabria.

The ULIANO surname gained prominence in the 14th century, particularly with the rise of the influential Uliano family in the city of Salerno. This noble family played a significant role in the political and cultural life of the region during the Renaissance period. One notable member was Giovanni Uliano (c. 1380-1456), a renowned humanist scholar and philosopher who served as a court advisor to several Neapolitan kings.

In the 16th century, the surname ULIANO appeared in various historical records across Italy, including the renowned manuscript "Codex Diplomaticus Cavensis," which documented the history of the Cava de' Tirreni monastery in Campania. Another notable figure from this period was Girolamo Uliano (c. 1510-1580), a celebrated architect and engineer who designed several important buildings in Naples and its surroundings.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the ULIANO surname continued to be prevalent in southern Italy, particularly in the regions of Campania, Calabria, and Sicily. One notable individual from this era was Giuseppe Uliano (c. 1670-1738), a renowned painter and fresco artist who contributed to the decoration of various churches and palaces in Naples.

In the 19th century, the ULIANO surname gained recognition beyond Italy, with several individuals bearing this name achieving prominence in various fields. For instance, Raffaele Uliano (1828-1901) was an Italian lawyer and politician who served as a deputy in the Italian Parliament during the late 19th century.

Throughout its history, the ULIANO surname has been associated with various place names and locations in southern Italy, such as the towns of Uliano Borgo and Uliano Noci in the province of Bari, as well as the village of Uliano in the province of Avellino. These place names likely derive from the surname itself, suggesting the presence of ULIANO families in these areas over the centuries.
