The history of the last name Agramon

The surname AGRAMON is believed to have originated in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the regions of Aragon and Catalonia, during the late medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old Catalan term "agramon," which referred to a type of wild cherry tree found in the area.

One of the earliest documented references to the AGRAMON surname dates back to the 14th century, when a certain Ramon Agramon was mentioned in the records of the city of Barcelona. This suggests that the name had already become established as a family name by that time.

Another notable early record of the AGRAMON name can be found in the Libro de Repartimiento de Valencia, a historical document from the 13th century that lists the names of individuals who participated in the conquest and subsequent distribution of lands in the region of Valencia. The presence of the AGRAMON name in this document indicates that members of this family were involved in the Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Moorish rule.

In the 16th century, a prominent figure bearing the AGRAMON surname was Jaume Agramon, a Catalan painter and sculptor who was active in the city of Barcelona. His works can still be found in several churches and museums throughout the region.

Another notable individual with the AGRAMON surname was Francesc Agramon, a 17th-century poet and playwright from Valencia. He was known for his contributions to the development of the Valencian literary tradition, particularly in the genre of pastoral poetry.

Moving into the 18th century, there are records of a Juan Agramon, a military officer who served in the Spanish army during the War of the Quadruple Alliance (1718-1720). He is said to have played a significant role in several battles against the French and their allies.

The AGRAMON surname can also be found in various place names throughout Spain and the Balearic Islands, such as Agramon de Arriba and Agramon de Abajo, which are small villages located in the province of Teruel, Aragon. These place names likely derive from the surname itself, indicating the presence of AGRAMON families in those areas.

While the AGRAMON surname is most commonly associated with Spain and the Iberian Peninsula, it has also been documented in other parts of Europe and the Americas, likely due to migration and the spread of Spanish influence during the colonial era.
