The gesualdo Surname
gesualdo Name Meaning and History
Italian: apparently from the medieval personal name
Gesualdo, composed of the Germanic elements gisil
‘pledge’, ‘hostage’, ‘noble offspring’ (see Giesel) +
wald ‘rule’, or perhaps a hybrid construction of which the
first element is Italian Gesù ‘Jesus’. However, it is
possible that the family name is rather habitational in origin, from Gesualdo in Avellino province.
