The surname Rinaldi is actually the plural of the surname Rinaldo, and, the name traces back as far as 313 A.D. perhaps even earlier. There are several branches of the Rinaldi family, and, only two of the Rinaldi branches of the large family are of nobility bloodlines. In early times only persons of rank were recorded such as clergy, landowners, government officials and nobility, and, therefore the further back a family tree can be traced the more than likely they are to be of the true nobility Rinaldi family. The surname Rinaldi is actually Germanic in origin and means to "rule".
