Origin notes
Origin and meaning
The surname Schiavone is widely spread across central-southern Italy and derives from the historical term “sclavoni,” which was used in central Italy to refer to Slavic peoples including Croats, Slavs, and Albanians who settled along the Adriatic coast. Records of this surname date back to the 15th century in regions such as Abruzzo and Puglia, reflecting the migration and establishment of these populations. While the related surname Schiavoni is principally found in Marche, Umbria, Lazio, Abruzzo, and Molise, as well as a group in the Taranto area, Schiavone is characterized by a broader presence throughout central-southern Italy.
