The surname ALBIDREZ has its origins in Spain, dating back to the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from the Arabic word "al-bidri," which means "the one from Petra." This suggests that the name's earliest bearers may have been individuals or families who migrated from the ancient city of Petra in modern-day Jordan to the Iberian Peninsula.

The earliest known historical reference to the ALBIDREZ surname can be traced back to the 13th century, when it appeared in records from the region of Andalusia, in southern Spain. During this time, the name was sometimes spelled as "Albitriz" or "Alvidrez," reflecting the variations in pronunciation and spelling that were common in those days.

As the ALBIDREZ surname spread across Spain, it also found its way to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. In the late 17th century, Pedro Albidrez, born in 1668 in Seville, was among the early Spanish settlers who established a new community in what is now Mexico City.
