Chiamata anticamente Gerifalca e successivamente Saraceno, prese il nuovo cognome in causa di una vittoria riportata da un prode suo capitano contro un valoroso saracino. Un Tommaso Saraceno nel 1154 ebbe in dono un Feudo dal Conte di Tricarico, Ruggero Sanseverino. Nella facciata laterale del Duomo di Matera ancor si osservano le vestigia di un monumento o sarcofago (Sepulcrum Judicis Saraceni) che rimonta al 1270. Un Giovan-Michele Saraceno fu creato Cardinale di S.R. Chiesa da Papa Giulio III, dal quale ottenne di rinunciare all'arcivescovato di Matera in favore di Sigismondo suo nipote. Fu costume delle più antiche famiglie, le quali dopo la caduta del Romano Imperio, in quella inondatione de' Barbari, havendo i loro cognomi, sicome gli studi, e altre cose belle smarrito e restati solo con semplici nomi, trarre di nuovo i loro cognomi, e il loro casato da' nomi proprii paterni, e de' maggiori.
