About the Bonello Surname

The last name Bonello is one of the recorded forms of Bonelli, a well-known Italian family name.

Census takers and immigration officers often wrote what they heard. The change of ending between Bonelli and Bonello reflects the Italian habit of naming a family in the plural or the singular.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Bonello, so the heraldry linked to Bonelli is a starting point, not an automatic right. Get the complete Bonello report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
