Crest Submitted by Manuel Psaila



Extract from "Family Name History" by The Historical Research Center :

The family name DeMicoli is classified as being of personal name origin. According to scholars the "oldest and most pervasive type of surname is that sderived from a given name". Such family names may be derived from a parental first name or from the font name of the grandfather or indeed a more remote ancestor of the original bearer of the surname. With regard to the family name DeMicoli, this name is derived from the preposition "De", signifying "son of or descendant of", and the personal name Micolo, a pet form of Michele, the Italian form of Michael. This personal name is derived from the Hebrew name Mikal, adapted in Greek and Latin as Melchol and Michol, meaning "Who is like God". This name was popularised throughout Christian Europe and given in honour of Saint Michael the Archangel, defender of God and Heaven, whose feast day is celebrated September 29th. The name Micoli is found throughout Italy. At least one DeMicoli family has traced their roots back to the Island ! of Malta. Variants of this surname include: DeMico, Micoli, Micol, DeMichele, Michiola. One of the earliest references to this name or to a variant is a record of the Michiola family of Malta, who held the position of "Jurat Of Notabile" in 1476.
However, research is ongoing and this name may have been documented even earlier than the date indicated above.

Sara Micol, daughter of Enrico Micol, born in Massello, Torino, Italy, September 7th, 1681. Salvatore Giuseppe Lorenzo Micoli, son of Natale Micoli and Grazia Indici, was born in Martina Franca, Taranto, Italy, October 2nd, 1775. Pietro Micoli, son of Paolo Micoli and Domenica Armaroli, was born in Padulle, Bonogna, Italy, May 30th, 1851.
