The history of the last name Ullo

The surname "ULLO" is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the regions of Piedmont and Lombardy. It likely emerged during the medieval period, between the 11th and 15th centuries. The name may be derived from the Latin word "ullus," meaning "any" or "some," or it could be a variant spelling of the Italian word "ullo," which means "howling" or "howl."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname "ULLO" dates back to the 13th century, when it appeared in a document from the city of Pavia, located in the Lombardy region of northern Italy. This document mentioned a person named Guglielmo Ullo, who was a landowner in the area.

In the 14th century, the name "ULLO" was also found in the Piedmont region, specifically in records from the city of Turin. These records referred to a family by the name of Ullo, who were involved in the textile trade.

One notable figure bearing the surname "ULLO" was Girolamo Ullo, a philosopher and theologian who lived in the 16th century (c. 1500-1570). He was born in the town of Casale Monferrato, located in the Piedmont region, and became a renowned scholar, writing several treatises on theology and philosophy.

Another historical figure with the surname "ULLO" was Francesco Ullo, a painter who lived in the 17th century (c. 1620-1690). He was born in the city of Genoa and is known for his religious paintings and frescoes adorning various churches in the region.

In the 18th century, there was a notable Italian mathematician named Giovanni Battista Ullo (1720-1803), who was born in the town of Savigliano, located in the Piedmont region. He made significant contributions to the field of mathematics and published several works on geometry and calculus.

Furthermore, the surname "ULLO" was also found in old place names and locations in Italy. For instance, there was a small village called Ullo in the province of Pavia, which may have been named after a family or individual with the same surname.
