DellUomo

Delluomo is a surname of Italian origin. The standard Italian form is Dell'Uomo, written with an apostrophe to reflect the elision of di or del before the feminine noun uomo. In some records the name may appear as Delluomo or in other punctuation variants, especially when crossing language or database conventions.

Etymology and origins are not uniformly documented, but surnames formed with the Dell' prefix are common in Italian onomastics. Dell'Uomo can be interpreted as a descriptive or patronymic name, potentially deriving from a family association with an ancestor characterized as “the man” or from a toponymic or occupational origin reflected in historical records. As with many Italian surnames, precise lineage and regional concentration can vary.

Distribution and usage: Dell'Uomo is most often found in Italy, with bearers also present in countries where Italians have historical diasporas. Variants without the apostrophe or with different spellings may occur in civil registries and at international branches, contributing to minor variations in documentation.

Notable people: The surname occurs in regional and local contexts, but there is no widely cited figure with global recognition associated specifically with the name Dell'Uomo. As with many surnames, individuals bearing the name appear in diverse fields such as education, arts, sports, or business, without a single prominent, universally recognized representative.
