Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Dagostino is rare and primarily concentrated around Giovinazzo (BA) and Barletta. It originates from diminutives of the Latin name Augustus or nicknames related to being born in August, which inspired the progenitor’s surname.

Unlike related variants such as D'Agostini, found in Veneto, Friuli, and Lazio, Dagostino holds a distinct geographic identity in southern Italy.
