Origin Displayed: Italian

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

The Dagnello surname is derived from the Italian word "agnello," which in turn comes from the Latin "agnellus," a diminutive of "agnus" meaning "lamb." Thus, this name may initially have been a nickname for an innocent, timid, meek or pious person. It was also a popular personal (first) name because of the Christian connotations of the Lamb of God. Agnello was the name of several saints such as St. Agnello of Naples, the sixth century St. Agnello, bishop of Ravenna, as well as St. Agnello of Pisa, companion of St. Francis. During the Middle Ages it was quite common for children to be named after saints in the hope of evoking the protection of the particular saint.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Agnelli, Agnello, Agnella, Agnellotti, Agnelli, D'Agnello, D'Agnelli, Agnellini, Agnelletti and many more.

First found in Pisa the original home of the family Agnelli di Mantova, who came to Pisa from Mantova in circa 1180.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Cruciano Agnello, who arrived in New York on April. 24; 1893 aboard the "Iniziativa," Francesco Agnello, who arrived in New York in 1888 aboard the "Letimbro," Paola Agnello, who arrived in New York in 1893 aboard the "California," Angela Agnelli, Age 16.
