dellOrdine

Dellordine is an Italian surname that is most commonly written as Dell'Ordine, though variant spellings such as Dellordine or D'Ordine appear in some records. The name is derived from the Italian phrase dell'ordine, meaning “of the order” or “belonging to the order,” with ordine meaning “order” and the preposition dell’ indicating “of the.” The form may reflect an ancestral association with a religious or military order, or it could originate as a toponymic surname for someone connected with a place associated with an order or named after an order.

Geographic distribution and usage: The name is primarily found in Italy, where it appears in historical and genealogical records. Like many Italian surnames, it has also spread to countries with significant Italian diaspora, including the United States, Argentina, and Brazil, due to waves of emigration over the centuries.

Variants and related forms: In addition to Dell'Ordine, the name may appear as Dellordine or D'Ordine, depending on transcription and orthographic choices in civil or immigration records. It should be distinguished from other surnames based on simply “Ordine,” which may have different origins or lineages.

Notable people: The surname is relatively uncommon, and there are no widely recognized figures universally documented under this name in major reference works. Individuals bearing the name may appear in regional or genealogical sources.
