The history of the last name Verno

The surname VERNO has its origins in northern Italy, specifically in the regions of Lombardy and Veneto. It first emerged in the 12th century and is believed to be derived from the Latin word "verna," which means "home-born slave" or "servant." This suggests that the name may have initially been given to someone who was born into servitude or worked as a servant.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name VERNO can be found in a document from the city of Verona, dated 1187. This document mentions a certain "Albertus Verno," indicating that the name was already in use at that time. Additionally, there are records of a noble family called "Verno" residing in the town of Vercelli, near Milan, in the 13th century.

In the 14th century, the name VERNO appeared in several chronicles and manuscripts from northern Italy. For instance, a manuscript from the city of Brescia, dated 1376, mentions a "Petrus Verno" who was a prominent merchant and landowner. Another notable individual was Giovanni Verno, a renowned artist and sculptor who lived in Milan during the late 15th century (c. 1450-1510).

As the centuries passed, the name VERNO spread to other parts of Italy and beyond. In the 16th century, there are records of a family with the surname VERNO living in the Republic of Venice. One member of this family, Francesco Verno (c. 1520-1591), was a highly respected jurist and legal scholar.

During the 17th century, the name VERNO gained recognition in the field of literature. Antonio Verno (1590-1668), a poet and playwright from Naples, was celebrated for his works in the Neapolitan dialect. Another notable figure was Girolamo Verno (1610-1687), a writer and historian from Verona who documented the city's history and culture.

In the 18th century, the name VERNO appeared in various parts of Europe, likely due to migration and trade. One notable example is Joseph Verno (1734-1810), a French architect and urban planner who designed several prominent buildings in Paris and other cities.

Throughout its history, the surname VERNO has been associated with various occupations and professions, ranging from artists and scholars to merchants and professionals.
