Famiglia assai antica, originaria di Montebaranzone. Tommaso Delara, fu nel 1679 Vice-commissario sassolese, in assenza del Podestà Righi, e fu, inoltre, rettore del Collegio dei Notai, commissario e notaio di Maranello. Un suo antenato, cioè Ser Antonio Delara fu podestà del Pigneto nel 1488. Della famiglia non si hanno più notizie dal XVIII secolo. Vuole il Viviano Marchesi G. nella sua “La Galleria dell’onore”, edito in Forlì nel 1735, essere questa una nobile ed antica famiglia originaria dell’Emilia-Romagna. . Riguardo a questo cognome abbiamo ritrovato ulteriori informazioni storiche in altri archivi. Purtroppo in lingua originale Inglese. : This Last Name of DELARA was of the locational group of last names meaning ‘one who came from LARA’ in Spain. The name meant a place for rearing ferns. It was also the name on an ancient Pagan household God. In the 8th century, Spain fell under the control of the Moors, and this influence, which lasted into the 12th century, has also left its mark on Hispanic last names. A few names are based directly on Arabic personal names. The majority of Spanish occupational and nickname last names, however, are based on ordinary Spanish derivatives. The origin of badges and emblems, are traced to the earliest times, although, Heraldry, in fact, cannot be traced later than the 12th century, or at furthest the 11th century. At first armorial bearings were probably like last names and assumed by each warrior at his free will and pleasure, his object being to distinguish himself from others. It has long been a matter of doubt when bearing Coats of Arms first became hereditary. It is known that in the reign of Henry V (1413-1422), a proclamation was issued, prohibiting the use of heraldic ensigns to all who could not show an original and valid right, except those ‘who had borne arms at Agincourt’. The College of Arms (founded in 1483) is the Royal corporation of heralds who record proved pedigrees and grant armorial bearings. The bulk of European last names in states such as England and France were formed in the 13th and 14th centuries. The process started earlier and continued in some places into the 19th century, but the norm is that in the 11th century people did not have last names, whereas by the 15th century they did. In Spain identifying patronymics are to be found as early as the mid-9th century, but these modified with each generation, and hereditary last names seem to have come in slightly later in Spain than in England and France. As well as the names of the traditional major saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common Spanish last names are extrapolated from personal names of Germanic origin. For the most part these names are characteristically Hispanic. They derive from the language of the Visigoths, who controlled Spain between the mid-5th and early 8th centuries….
