The Historical Research Center Family Name History - Trabucco
The origin of the Italian surname Trabucco should be placed between the fifteenth and sixteenth century; the surname in fact is the same name of a weapon, the “trabucco” or the “blunderbuss” which was invented and used around that period. The final letter “o” of the surname denotes the plural form,illustrating the process of the surname having been passed on from one generation to the next. The “trabucco” does not exist anymore in Italian, instead is used the term “trabocchetto”, which has the same origin, plus the suffix “-etto” and which means “trap” or “pitfall”. The surname Trabucco,deriving from the name of a weapon, indicates that the original bearer was a soldier, or maybe a hunter, and the name must be considered or occupational origin. In the Middle Ages the pattern serving as a basis for fixed Italian surnames was based on paternity., the name of the father being the reference for identification, but before the advent of a structured system of surnames, a man was most conveniently identified by his occupation or trade.
As the closest variant to the surname Trabucco, the “Dizionario Storico Blasonico”, a compilation of the Italian nobility, mentions two families by the name of Trabucco, one from Sicily and one from Piedmont. The earliest references to the surnames, mention the family from Piedmont as rich landownersin the fourteenth century. Later, one Gian-Antonio di Bernardino Trabuccowas the minister for the finances of the kingdom of Savoy.
BLAZON OF ARMS: Per pale counterfessy argent and gules; overall a pale of the first; as chief or charged with an eagle displayed sable.
CREST: The eagle as in the arms.
