[quote]It can be assumed that the origin of the various forms of the surname Delmedigo, Del Medico, Del Medigo, Del Medego, Della Medega, is related to the medical profession exercised by one of the family’s ancestors, or by several of its members. As we know so well, during the Middle Ages and early modern times, Jews were often engaged in this profession in many parts of the known world.
