Neighbourhood profile for Bartolo

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Bartolo, this points to the kinds of places where the surname is most concentrated today.

These neighbourhood labels describe areas, not individual people. They are useful because surnames often cluster through family history, migration, housing patterns and local work. A surname can be strongest in one type of neighbourhood even when people with that name live across the country.

The UK classification gives the national picture. The London classification is more specific to the capital, where housing, age profile, tenure and population mix can look quite different from the rest of the UK.

They are also typically educated to A Level/Highers or degree level and work in skilled or professional occupations. Typically born in the UK, some families have children, although the median adult age is above 45 and some property has become under-occupied after children have left home.

Read profile summary

Group profile

These scattered, peripheral and often low residential density neighbourhoods house more workers in skilled trades and construction. Few households rent social housing and there are few students. Multiple car ownership is higher than the Supergroup average, perhaps because of poorer public transport connectivity. Incidence of mixed or multiple ethnicity is below the Supergroup average, and the absence of individuals identifying as Pakistani or Other Asian groups is also less pronounced. Flatted accommodation is less dominant than elsewhere in the Supergroup.

Wider London pattern

A Supergroup embodying London's diversity in many respects, apart from low numbers of residents identifying as of Bangladeshi, Indian, Pakistani or Other (non-Chinese) Asian ethnicity. There is lower than average prevalence of families with dependent children, while there are above average occurrences of never-married individuals and single-person households. The age distribution is skewed towards younger, single residents and couples without children, with many individuals identifying as of mixed or multiple ethnicity. Social rented or private rented housing is slightly more prevalent than average, and many residents live in flats. Individuals typically work in professional and associated roles in public administration, education or health rather than in elementary occupations in agriculture, energy, water, construction or manufacturing. Incidence of students is slightly below average. Individuals declaring no religion are more prevalent than average and non-use of English at home is below average.

Meaning and origin of Bartolo

The surname Bartolo has its origins in Italy, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to derive from the Italian given name Bartolomeo, itself a variant of the biblical name Bartholomew, meaning "son of Talmai." This name has its roots in the Aramaic language and was popular among early Christians.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Bartolo can be found in a document from the city of Genoa in 1285, referring to a certain Nicolò Bartolo. The name was particularly prevalent in various regions of Italy, including Tuscany, Umbria, and Lazio.

Throughout the centuries, the Bartolo surname has been associated with several notable individuals. One of the most renowned was Baldo degli Ubaldi Bartolo (1327-1400), a prominent Italian jurist and legal scholar from Perugia. His works on Roman law greatly influenced legal thought during the Renaissance period.

In the 15th century, the name appears in records from the city of Florence, with a certain Bartolomeo di Bartolo (c. 1430-1501) being a notable Florentine painter and miniaturist. His works can still be found in various churches and museums across Italy.

Another significant figure was Giovanni Bartolo (c. 1545-1623), an Italian composer and organist from Palermo, Sicily. He contributed to the development of early Baroque music and served as the organist at the Palermo Cathedral.

During the 17th century, the Bartolo surname was also found in the Kingdom of Naples. Alessandro Bartolo (1635-1700) was a Neapolitan architect and engineer who designed several important buildings, including the Palazzo Reale di Napoli.

In the 19th century, Domenico Bartolo (1818-1892) was a prominent Italian painter from Palermo, known for his historical and religious works. His paintings can be found in various churches and galleries throughout Sicily.

It is worth noting that variations of the surname, such as Bartoli and Bartolozzi, have also been documented throughout Italy's history, often associated with notable figures in various fields, including art, literature, and academia.
