In the 16th century, the Agredo family gained notable recognition with the birth of Venerable María de Jesús de Ágreda (1602-1665), a Franciscan nun and mystic writer. She was renowned for her spiritual visions and her extensive correspondence with King Philip IV of Spain.

Another notable bearer of the Agredo surname was Francisco de Agredo y Velasco (1670-1738), a Spanish military officer and colonial administrator who served as the Governor of Panama from 1718 to 1723.

In the 19th century, Juan Agredo y Muñoz (1789-1862) was a prominent Spanish politician and lawyer who served as a member of the Spanish Parliament and held various high-ranking positions in the government.
