Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Di Mauro is patronymic, originating from the given name Mauro to mean 'son of Mauro'. It is especially common in Sicily, Campania, and Lazio, with a notable presence also in Apulia, particularly in the Bari and Foggia provinces. The rarer form Demauro is mainly found in the Bari area. In Apulia, Dimauro branches exist, as well as in Sicily around Syracuse and Ragusa. A significant record from the 10th century in Amalfi attests to the early use of the patronymic formed from Mauro, mentioning Pantaleo son of Mauro. Both De- and Di- prefixes convey descent from an ancestor named Mauro.
