  • Comment: This source is publicly accessible: "Ζολώτας, Γεώργιος Ιωάννου (1923). Ιστορία της Χίου. Sakellarios. p. 560-564." Please provide a quote from that source translated into English that would enable me to verify the following paragraph next to which it is cited: While the presence of the Zaccaria-Cattaneo family in Chios has been documented since the 14th century, the Negroponte name did not appear in official records until the early 17th century, marking the completion of its transition from nickname to a surname.

REPLY: "It is therefore obvious that the di Negroponte came to Chios from these Venetian parts, i.e. those from Euripus, as Evia was then called (Euriopos-Negripos-Negroponte). Those who passed on the name to their descendants, and in Chios from the 16th or 17th century. In Chios 1601 Paolo di Negroponte (latin codex)… 1609 Giacomo Negroponte..." pg 560 par 4 onwards.

Dear Alalch, this quote from Zolotas shows how the "di Negroponte" nickname started being used as a "Negroponte" proper surname from the early 17th century onwards. I also added a citation from the Libro D'oro by Argenti which offers the source for the first part of the paragraph discussing the existence of the Zaccaria-Cattaneo in the island before that time. —Zannissaxt 13:24, 11 June 2024 (UTC)}}Reply
