The history of the last name Andrede

The surname ANDREDE is of Portuguese origin, with roots tracing back to the 15th century. It is believed to have originated in the northern regions of Portugal, particularly in the areas surrounding the city of Braga.

ANDREDE is thought to be derived from the Portuguese word "andrada," which refers to a small path or trail. This suggests that the name may have been associated with individuals living near or along such paths or trails in rural areas.

One of the earliest known records of the ANDREDE surname can be found in the "Livro de Linhagens" (Book of Lineages), a 15th-century Portuguese manuscript documenting noble families. The ANDREDE family is mentioned as having a coat of arms, indicating their noble status at the time.

In the 16th century, a notable figure bearing the ANDREDE surname was João Andrede, a Portuguese explorer and navigator who participated in several expeditions to the Americas and the East Indies. He was born around 1520 in Viana do Castelo and played a crucial role in expanding Portuguese maritime exploration during that era.

Another prominent individual with the ANDREDE surname was Francisco Andrede, a 17th-century Portuguese architect and military engineer. He was born in 1615 in Lisbon and is renowned for his work on various fortifications and military structures throughout Portugal and its colonies.

Moving into the 18th century, Pedro Andrede (1703-1784) was a renowned Portuguese jurist and legal scholar. He served as a magistrate and authored several influential works on Portuguese civil law, leaving a lasting impact on the country's legal system.

In the 19th century, the ANDREDE surname gained recognition through the works of the writer and journalist José Andrede (1822-1891). Born in Porto, he was a prominent figure in the Portuguese literary scene and contributed to several newspapers and magazines of the time.

The ANDREDE surname can also be found in various place names throughout Portugal, such as Aldeia de Andrede, a small village in the municipality of Alcobaça. This further reinforces the connection between the surname and its origins in rural areas and communities.

While the ANDREDE surname is predominantly Portuguese, it has also been found in other regions with historical ties to Portugal, such as Brazil and parts of Africa, reflecting the country's colonial past and the migration of Portuguese settlers.
