Alte und sehr edle sizilianische Familie mit klarer und angestammter Tugend, die sich im Laufe der Jahrhunderte in verschiedenen Regionen Italiens verbreitet hat. Der Ursprung dieses Familiennamens ist im Ortsnamen Geraci Siculo (PA) zu suchen, der wiederum von „Hieraki(on)“ (= Habicht), Verkleinerungsform des griechischen „hierax, hierakos“ (= Sperber), in Anspielung auf die zahlreichen Raubvögel, die in der Gegend sind. Jedenfalls ist es dieser Familie im Laufe der Jahrzehnte immer wieder gelungen, eine Reihe von Männern hervorzubringen, die sich im öffentlichen Dienst, in freien und kirchlichen Berufen sowie im Militärdienst einen Namen gemacht haben. Unter diesen, ohne den Wert des Ausgelassenen zu riskieren, zählen wir: Stefano, Doktor der Rechtswissenschaften, Rechtsanwalt am Gericht des Grand Court, Bürgermeister von Naro, Girgenti und Licata 1488; Giovan Francesco, der mit einem am 15. Dezember 1498 erteilten und am 16. März 1499 hingerichteten Privileg für sich und seine Familie die Verleihung des Titels eines königlichen Ritters
