The surname Almario is believed to have originated from Spain during the medieval period. It is derived from the Spanish word "almario," which means "cupboard" or "closet." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who worked as a furniture maker or carpenter, specifically one who specialized in crafting cupboards or closets.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname Almario can be traced back to the 14th century in various documents and records from the regions of Catalonia and Valencia in eastern Spain. Some of these early mentions include Rodrigo Almario, a carpenter from Barcelona born in 1342, and María Almario, a resident of Valencia mentioned in a land deed from 1387.

During the 15th century, the name Almario began to appear in other parts of Spain, particularly in the regions of Andalusia and Castile. One notable figure from this period was Juan Almario, a renowned woodcarver from Seville, who lived between 1428 and 1496. His intricate works adorned several churches and cathedrals throughout southern Spain.

As the surname spread, it also underwent slight variations in spelling, such as Almario, Almario, and Almario. These variations were often influenced by regional dialects and scribal errors in historical records.

In the 16th century, the Almario family gained prominence in the city of Málaga, where they were involved in the trade of fine furniture and woodwork. One member of this family, Diego Almario (1542-1612), was a respected artisan and merchant who exported his wares to various parts of Europe.

Over the centuries, the Almario surname has been carried by individuals from various walks of life, including artists, scholars, and military personnel.
