The history of the last name Anido

The surname Anido has its roots in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the regions of Galicia and northern Portugal. Its origins can be traced back to the 9th or 10th century during the Reconquista period, when the Christian kingdoms of the north were gradually reclaiming territories from the Moors.

Anido is believed to have derived from the Galician or Portuguese word "anido," meaning "nest" or "dwelling." It likely referred to a person who lived in a particular location or settlement, possibly near a prominent nest or dwelling. Variations of the spelling include Anido, Añido, and Anidó.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Anido can be found in a medieval document from the 12th century, which mentions a landowner named Pedro Anido in the region of Galicia. This suggests that the name was already established and associated with a certain level of prominence or landholding by that time.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Juan Anido was mentioned in the chronicles of the Kingdom of Castile as a prominent military commander who participated in the campaigns against the Moors. His achievements and service to the crown likely contributed to the recognition and spread of the surname within the region.

During the 15th and 16th centuries, as the Spanish empire expanded across the Atlantic, some individuals bearing the surname Anido were among the early explorers and settlers who ventured to the Americas. For instance, Diego Anido was a soldier who accompanied Hernán Cortés during the conquest of Mexico in the early 16th century.

Another prominent figure with the surname Anido was Álvaro Anido de Espinosa, a 17th-century Spanish nobleman and military leader who served as the Governor of Cartagena de Indias (present-day Colombia) from 1669 to 1677. His tenure was marked by efforts to fortify the city's defenses against pirate attacks and to promote economic development in the region.

In the 19th century, Manuel Anido Fernández (1855-1928) was a Spanish politician and lawyer who served as the Minister of the Interior during the reign of Alfonso XIII. He played a significant role in the suppression of workers' strikes and the implementation of conservative policies during a turbulent period in Spanish history.
