Giarelli is an Italian surname of the Valle Camonica, Lombardy.
A long presence of the Giarelli family is attested in Nadro of Ceto since the 16th century, although the last name is original of the town of Cimbergo. Another bow of the family is present to Massa Carrara, perhaps in relation with ancient migrations of stone cutters, while other branches of the family are present in Honduras, Argentina, and the United States. In France the surname has assumed the mutation in Gerelli.
The meaning of the name has various interpretations:
In the flat field of the country of Nadro there is the Giarelli locality, that it takes the name of the ancient house of the family, constructed in the 1905, first stable built in the area.
This toponymy appears in the dictionary of "toponomastica bresciana " of Gnaga (1937) that tells about a place called Giarei (“the Giarelli” in Camunian dialect) to north of Losine, that is Nadro.
