One of the earliest recorded instances of the ALBAVERA surname can be found in the Catastro de Ensenada, a census-like document compiled in the mid-18th century during the reign of King Ferdinand VI of Spain. This document listed several families with the ALBAVERA surname residing in the villages around Seville.
