The distinguished surname Dioguardi can be traced back to the ancient and beautiful region of Tuscany. The surname Dioguardi was derived from the name "Dioguardi," which is derived from the medieval phrase Dioguardi or Diotiguardi, with the hypocoristic apheretic Guardi, documented in Tuscany since the 12th century, which means"God guard you, protect you."
The surname Dioguardi was first found in Sorrento, with Pietro-Siniscalco Guardati in 1404. More ancient is Domini Guardato, who was a landowner, soldier, and intellectual in the region, but records reveal no date.
