In the Middle Ages the lineage can be traced mainly in the Venetian area, in the Alessandria area, in the Giovinazzo area and in Sicily. The Caravello are located in Veneto, Lombardy and above all in Sicily, the Caravelli are more evenly distributed in the national territory. the Garavellos all reside in Veneto, Lombardy and Piedmont while the Garavellis are located between Piedmont, Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna, the etymology is very uncertain. If the surname Caravello of Venetian origin would have had in the Garavello and Garavelli variants the sound of the initial veil phenomenon (K -> G) present but rare, could date back to the late Latin carabum (crab then small boat) with reference to the lake environment or to the activity carried out either with caravel glue, typical of naval carpentry, and therefore linked to the profession of caulker involved in caravel processing of boats, which then moved to Portugal in the 12th century. If not Venetian, Garavello could derive from the root gar or ger or gairu (spear). In this case, the meaning would be approximately armed with a spear. Since the names of Germanic origin derived from gairu are not easily distinguishable from those derived from the root garva (prepared), at the origin of Garavello there could also be this last root. In this case the meaning of the surname would be ready for war. In Piedmont the surname could recall the pre-Roman base caravos (stone) from which the note garavela (calcinaccio) with allusion to a geomorphological aspect of the territory. In Puglia the lineage derives from the French family Garau established in the XIIIth century in Giovinazzo following the Angevins, one of its collateral branch assumed the surname Vernice in which one can recognize the name, crippled, of the Serenissima Venice.
