Where did the Italian Dalessio family come from? What is the Italian Dalessio family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dalessio family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dalessio family history? The distinguished surname Dalessio can be traced back to the ancient and beautiful region of Venice. The people here were known by only a single name until it 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. Italian hereditary surnames were developed according to fairly general principles and they were characterized by a profusion of derivatives coined from given names. Dalessio is a patronymic surname, a name derived from the father's given name. The surname Dalessio came from the personal name "Alessio" which is derived from the Latin Alexius which means to defend or to protect.Enormous variation in spelling and form characterizes those Italian names that originated in the medieval era. This is caused by two main factors: regional tradition, and inaccuracies in the recording process. Before the last few hundred years, scribes spelled names according to their sounds. Spelling variations were the unsurprising result. The variations of Dalessio include Alecci, Ales, Alesci, Alescio, Alesi, Alesio, Alesseri, Alessi, Alessiani, Alessiati, Alessio, D'Alesio, D'Alessio and many more. First found in Rome in the 15th century with the Alessio family, who moved to Sicily when they received a vast amount of land on the island from the king, Federico.
