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

The Emilia Romagna region of Italy is the locale where the Dagostino surname was first found. Although the people in this region were at one time known by only a single, personal name, it later became necessary for them to adopt a second name to identify themselves as populations grew and travel became more frequent. The process of adopting fixed hereditary surnames was not complete until the modern era, but the use of hereditary family names in Italy began in the 10th and 11th centuries. Dagostino is one of the Italian patronymic surnames, created from the father's given name. The surname Dagostino came from the personal name Agostino. This personal name is derived from the Latin word "augustus," which means "favored with good omens."

In comparison with other European surnames, Italian surnames have a surprising number of forms. They reflect the regional variations and the many dialects of the Italian language, each with its own distinctive features. For example, in Northern Italy the typical Italian surname suffix is "i", whereas in Southern Italy it is "o". Additionally, spelling changes frequently occurred because medieval scribes and church officials often spelled names as they sounded rather than according to any specific spelling rules. The spelling variations in the name Dagostino 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.
