The history of the last name Anzualda

The surname Anzualda originates from the Basque region of northern Spain and southern France, with records dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to be derived from the Basque words "anzu" meaning "old" and "alda" meaning "village" or "town," suggesting it may have been a locational surname referring to a person from an old village or settlement.

One of the earliest known references to the name Anzualda can be found in a document from the Archivo General de Navarra, dated 1187, which mentions an individual named Sancho Anzualda. This record provides evidence of the surname's existence during the latter part of the 12th century in the Basque region.

In the 13th century, there are mentions of the Anzualda family in the Cartulario de San Millán de la Cogolla, a medieval cartulary from the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla in La Rioja, Spain. This cartulary contains various legal documents and land transactions involving individuals with the Anzualda surname.

During the 14th century, the name Anzualda appears in several historical records from the Kingdom of Navarre, including legal documents and property records. One notable individual from this period was Juan Anzualda, a landowner and prominent figure in the town of Estella, who lived between 1320 and 1382.

In the 15th century, the Anzualda family gained prominence in the Basque region, with several members holding positions of authority and influence. One such person was Pedro Anzualda (1437-1509), who served as the mayor of the town of Vitoria-Gasteiz and played a significant role in the local government.

Throughout the 16th and 17th centuries, the Anzualda surname continued to be found in various historical records from the Basque region, including church registries, census documents, and legal proceedings. Some notable individuals from this period include:
