teodoli

Teodoli is a surname of Italian origin. The name is generally understood to be patronymic, derived from the given name Teodoro (Theodore) with a suffix that signals descent or belonging to a family group. In this sense, Teodoli can be read as “descendants of Teodoro.”

Geographic distribution and historical context have varied over time. The surname appears in Italian records dating back to the late Middle Ages and early modern period, with regional concentrations that reflect historical patterns of settlement and landholding. In more recent centuries, emigration and mobility spread bearers of the name beyond Italy, contributing to Italian diaspora communities in the Americas and elsewhere in Europe.

Variants and related forms are sometimes encountered in historical documents due to regional orthography and clerical recording practices. Surnames of this type often show multiple spellings in archival sources, which may include minor alterations in vowel and consonant sequences. The form Teodoli itself is one of several recorded renderings associated with the same underlying etymology.

Notable individuals: There is no widely recognized figure with this surname who has a standalone biographical article in common reference works. The name remains relatively uncommon in contemporary English-language sources, and specific biographical entries may exist in regional or national contexts within Italy or within emigrant communities.
