My thanks to Joshua Mittleman for his assistance. This article consists of three tables: given names, family names, and raw data.
The list of given names is alphabetical with names and their variants grouped together. All names occur only once in the data unless otherwise noted. Compound given names in late period were fairly common. This article considers Giovanni Battista 'John Baptist' and Cesare Giulio 'Caesar Julius' to be one unit. Other double given names, i.e. Pietro Francesco 'Peter Francis' do not fit into this category.
In my table of family names, I have identified the origin of each surname, where possible, at least by general type, i.e. patronymic, locative, occupational, etc. The names are listed alphabetically. Five of the Bossi and Ciocca were ducal notaries as were two each of the Legnano and Perego. The rest only occur once.
The table of raw data gives the names, date, and the number of the archive envelope in which the information was found. This list of names was taken directly off of the website and includes post-1635 names.
Please note that the spellings may be modern.
