Aquino (surname)
It has also been adopted elsewhere, particularly by Spaniards in Latin America and in the Philippines, to baptize local indigenous people in honor of the great theologian St. Thomas of Aquino.
- The surname Aquino comes from one of the historic noble houses in Italy. Although Jure Francorum lived, as Benedetto Croce attests, the family was, however, of Longobard blood, as it came from Radoaldo, who had been Aquino's possessor in the time of the dukes of Benevento. The Aquinos were counted among the seven great houses of the Kingdom of Naples. Among its most prominent members, the family includes the famous saint Thomas Aquinas.[1]
