Paruta, quite rare, it would seem specific of Palermo, the surname would seem connected with the name of the rue, so that that plant is represented in its coat of arms, but the hypothesis is not very convincing, one could rather consider a connection with the medieval word paruta (appearance, clothing), was born as De Paruta, who says it is of Lucca origin, who is Venetian, also because important Venetian traces of this family have existed since 1300, with branches also in Lombardy, where it is still present in the Bergamo area, in Pontida and Bergamo, and Chiari in the nearby Brescia area, but the oldest traces would seem to be Sicilian, it is a baronial family probably of Germanic origin, in the first half of the 1300s we find a Cossius de Paruta Judex Panormi (Palermo judge), at the beginning of 1400 dates back instead the noble charge with feudalization of the territory of Corleone, in 1436 Ruggiero Paruta is viceroy of the Kingdom of Sicily, in 1507 the Paruta becomes no barons of Salaparuta in the Trapani area, a town that took its name from the family. The Venetian traces of this surname can be found in this declaration dated 1379: "Nicholò Paruta de San Chanzian will offer the person with IIII boni conpagni, the serimi otimi and sofizienti, over the prexente armada to all his spexe in fin'a vera fenida, them the IIII conpagni not serà de ganzaruoli ní de other salariadi of the comun de Veniexia.
