Lapera Last Name History & Origin

Add

Summary

There are many different countries of orgin for the last name LaPera, but this summary is for those of Italy. 

History

Approximately 75 years ago (from 2012), the LaPera family immigrated from Italy to America. They landed in New York, and most still reside there (more in Upstate, NY than the city). Not much is known about the lineage before their immigration to America. Once they arrived, the family pushed their children to assimilate, so the children did not retain the Italian language or culture. There are many different countries of orgin for the last name LaPera, but this summary is for those of Italy. 

Name Origin

The last name LaPera comes from Italian meaning "the pear." It is unknown as to whether this name was changed once the LaPeras immigrated to America. It has been rumored that the surname may be a reference to a profession before immigration to America.

Spellings & Pronunciations

Most spell LaPera with the capital "P". Others add a space between "La" and "Pera". Another variation is to spell it without a capital "P", but this is not common among the LaPera family of Italy.

Nationality & Ethnicity

The country of origin is Italy. Like previously stated, there is little knowledge of the family before their immigration to America. The last known nationality of LaPera is Italian.
