The surname URCIUOLI originated in Italy, specifically in the regions of Campania and Apulia. It is believed to have emerged in the late Middle Ages, around the 13th or 14th century.

The name URCIUOLI is derived from the Italian word "orciuolo," which means "small pitcher" or "jug." This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a descriptive surname to someone who worked with or produced small pottery vessels.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name URCIUOLI can be found in a document from the city of Benevento, in the region of Campania, dated to the year 1320. This document mentions a certain Nicola Urciuoli, who was likely a resident of the city at that time.

In the 15th century, there are records of an Urciuoli family residing in the town of Ariano Irpino, also located in Campania. This family was involved in the production and trade of ceramics, which aligns with the name's potential origin.

In the 18th century, a certain Giuseppe Urciuoli, born in 1705 in Naples, gained recognition as a skilled architect and engineer. He was responsible for the design and construction of several notable buildings and infrastructure projects in the city.
