Where did the Italian Dagastino family come from? What is the Italian Dagastino family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dagastino family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dagastino family history?

The surname Dagastino is an Italian patronymic surname; that is, it was a name created from the first name of the father. Dagastino is derived from the personal name Agostino. This personal name is derived from the Latin word "augustus," which means "favored with good omens."

Italian surnames come in far more variations than the names of most other nationalities. Regional traditions and dialects are a decisive factor in this characteristic. For example, northern names tend to end in "o", while southern in "i". Also important, but not unique to Italy, was the fact that before dictionaries and the printing press most scribes simply spelled words according to their sounds. The predictable result was an enormous number of spelling variations. The recorded spellings of Dagastino include Agosta, Agostani, Agostaro, Agostena, Agosti, Agostinetti, Agostini, Agostinis, Agostino, Agostinone, Agosto, Agostoni, Agustoni, Augusti, Augusto, Augustoni, D'Agostino, DeAgostini and many more.

First found in Ferrara, with records showing Eugenio Agostini there in 923. Also around this time, Alessandro Agostini was secretary of the Duke and another Alessandro Agostini, of the same family in Ferrara, was the Councillor of Alfonso I.
