Neighbourhood profile for Iannelli

Modern surname records can be compared with neighbourhood classifications. For Iannelli, 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.

Read profile summary

Group profile

Employment in this Group is typically in managerial and professional occupations, and education to degree level is common. Residents are typically of working age, many of whom identify with an Indian ethnicity. Households are unlikely to be of Mixed or Multiple ethnicities, and English is not the main language used in some households. This Group is found on the outskirts of most conurbations as well as in the suburbs of some free-standing towns.

Wider pattern

Those working within the managerial, professional and administrative occupations typically reflect a wide range of ethnic groups, and reside in detached or semi-detached housing. Their residential locations at the edges of cities and conurbations and car-based lifestyles are more characteristic of Supergroup membership than birthplace or participation in child-rearing. Houses are typically owner-occupied and marriage rates are lower than the national average. This Supergroup is found throughout suburban UK.

Mainly concentrated in suburban areas, these terraced and semi-detached developments are less overcrowded than the Supergroup average, and resident households are more likely to own two or more cars. There are fewer residents aged 25-44, and a larger share of residents employed in administrative and secretarial occupations. Residents are more likely to have been born in the UK, less likely to have been born in the EU or Africa, and much less likely to self-identify as Bangladeshi.

Wider London pattern

Many families in these neighbourhoods have young children. Housing is principally in the social rented sector, in terraced or semi-detached units.

Residents are drawn from a range of ethnic minorities, with many identifying as Black and above average numbers born in Africa. Numbers identifying as of Chinese, Indian or White ethnicity are below average. Levels of proficiency in English are below average. Levels of separation or divorce and incidence of disability are both above average. Education is typically limited to Level 1, 2, or apprenticeship qualifications. Few residents work in professional or managerial occupations but the employment structure is otherwise diverse: it includes skilled trades, caring, leisure and other service occupations, sales and customer service occupations, construction, and work as process, plant, and machine operatives.

Meaning and origin of Iannelli

The surname IANNELLI has its origins in Italy, tracing back to the medieval period. It is derived from the medieval Italian word "Ianuello," which was a diminutive form of the Latin name "Ianuarius," meaning "of January." This suggests that the name may have been initially bestowed upon a child born in the month of January.

IANNELLI is a variant spelling of the more common Italian surname Ianulli or Iannulli, which can be found in historical records from various regions of Italy, particularly in the southern regions of Campania, Basilicata, and Calabria. The earliest recorded instances of the name date back to the 13th and 14th centuries.

One notable historical figure bearing the IANNELLI surname was Pietro Antonio Iannelli (1659-1726), an Italian architect and painter from Naples. He was known for his work on several churches and palaces in Naples and its surroundings during the Baroque period.

Another individual of note was Tursio Iannelli (1877-1951), an Italian-American sculptor and industrial designer. He was born in Apulia, Italy, and later immigrated to the United States, where he contributed to various architectural projects, including the design of the Chicago Board of Trade Building.

In the literary realm, Giuseppe Iannelli (1826-1890) was an Italian poet and journalist from Bari, known for his works in the Neapolitan dialect. He played a significant role in the promotion of the Neapolitan language and culture.

The name IANNELLI can also be found in historical records related to the Italian diaspora, particularly in the United States, where many Italians immigrated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. One such individual was Anthony Iannelli (1888-1965), an Italian-American sculptor and industrial designer who worked alongside his brother, Tursio Iannelli, on notable projects in Chicago.

Another notable figure was Renato Iannelli (1918-1994), an Italian-American artist and sculptor known for his works in various mediums, including ceramics, metal, and wood. He was born in New York City to Italian immigrants and gained recognition for his abstract and modernist sculptures.
