Capones

Capones is a surname of Italian origin. The form Capones is most commonly encountered as the plural or anglicized version of the surname Capone, and may appear as a family name in English-speaking contexts.

The name Capone itself is Italian, and Capones reflects its English-adapted usage. Like many Italian surnames, its presence outside Italy mirrors historical migrations and diaspora communities, with bearers and their descendants found in North and South America and other regions with Italian heritage.

There are few widely documented public figures with the exact surname Capones. The more familiar name related to Capones is Capone, most notably associated with Al Capone, the American gangster active in the 1920s and 1930s. This connection is commonly noted in discussions of the surname’s recognizability outside its local or familial contexts.

In contemporary use, Capones can occur among people of Italian descent or those with family histories tied to Italian immigration. As with many surnames, its distribution today reflects broader patterns of migration, settlement, and cultural exchange rather than any single institution or event.
