notare

Notare is a term that appears as a verb form in Latin and Italian, and only rarely as a proper noun. In Latin, notare is the infinitive meaning to mark, to note, or to designate, and it occurs in a variety of contexts, from marking a sign to citing information. In Italian, notare is a regular -are verb meaning to note, to observe, or to record information, with common present forms such as io noto, tu noti, lui/lei nota, noi notiamo, voi notate, loro notano.

Etymology and related usage stem from the Latin nota meaning a mark or sign, which has produced various terms in Romance languages connected with notation, notes, and notaries. The connection to notary is linguistic rather than direct: notaio in Italian and notary in English share the same Latin root related to recording or certifying information.

As a surname, Notare is extremely uncommon and not associated with widely documented figures. When it appears, it tends to be a rare regional surname or a genealogical footnote rather than a widely recognized family name.

There are no widely recognized places named Notare. The term is predominantly encountered in linguistic, dictionary, or textual contexts, and is typically not used as a geographical or organizational proper noun.
