The history of the last name Andino

The surname Andino is of Spanish origin and can be traced back to the late 15th century in the region of Andalusia, Spain. It is derived from the Old Spanish word "andino," which means "inhabitant of the mountainous region." This suggests that the name was initially given to people who lived in or near the Sierra Nevada mountains of southern Spain.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Andino can be found in the "Libro de la Montería" (Book of the Hunt), a 14th-century manuscript detailing hunting expeditions during the reign of King Alfonso XI of Castile. The document mentions a man named Pedro Andino, who was a member of the royal hunting party.

In the 16th century, the name appears in several historical records related to the Spanish conquest of the Americas. One notable figure was Juan Andino, a conquistador who accompanied Francisco Pizarro on his expeditions to Peru in the 1530s. Juan Andino played a crucial role in the conquest of the Inca Empire and was later granted land and titles by the Spanish Crown.

Another significant individual with the surname Andino was Alonso Andino, a Spanish poet and playwright born in Seville in 1590. He was known for his literary works, including plays and poetry collections, which reflected the cultural and social environments of his time.

During the 17th century, the Andino family established themselves as prominent landowners and nobility in various parts of Spain. One member, Diego Andino (1625-1698), was a distinguished military leader who served in the Spanish army during the Thirty Years' War and later became a prominent figure in the court of King Charles II.

In the 19th century, José Andino (1800-1876) was a prominent Ecuadorian politician and lawyer who played a significant role in the country's independence from Spain. He served as the first Vice President of Ecuador and was instrumental in drafting the country's first constitution.

While the Andino surname has its roots in Spain, it has since spread to various parts of the world, particularly in Latin American countries, due to Spanish colonization and migration. However, its origins can be traced back to the mountainous regions of Andalusia, where the name was first given to those who lived in or near the Sierra Nevada mountains.
