The history of the last name Arangure

The surname Arangure has its origins in the Basque region of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is believed to have originated in the Middle Ages, likely between the 11th and 13th centuries. The name is derived from the Basque words "aran" meaning valley and "gure" meaning ours, suggesting it may have referred to a person or family from a particular valley.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Arangure can be found in a historical document from the 14th century, which mentions a nobleman named Juan de Arangure who owned lands in the Basque province of Gipuzkoa. This suggests the name was already well-established in the region by that time.

During the 15th century, the surname Arangure began to spread beyond the Basque region as individuals bearing the name migrated to other parts of Spain and even to the Americas. An early example is Pedro de Arangure, born in 1472 in the town of Vitoria-Gasteiz, who later became a prominent figure in the Spanish conquest of Mexico.

In the 16th century, there are records of an Arangure family living in the town of Arévalo, in the province of Ávila, central Spain. This branch of the family produced several notable individuals, including Alonso de Arangure (1520-1589), a distinguished lawyer and judge, and his son, Diego de Arangure (1550-1624), a renowned poet and playwright.

Another notable bearer of the Arangure name was Juan de Arangure y Morán (1628-1701), a Spanish military officer who served as the Governor of Florida from 1693 to 1700. He played a significant role in defending the Spanish territories in North America against British and French incursions.

Moving into the 18th century, there is a record of a María de Arangure (1712-1784), who was a prominent landowner and philanthropist in the city of Córdoba, Argentina. She donated a significant portion of her wealth to establish educational institutions and housing for the poor.

In more recent history, one of the most famous individuals with the Arangure surname was the Mexican artist and sculptor Germán Cueto Arangure (1893-1975). His works, which often depicted scenes from Mexican folklore and indigenous culture, are celebrated for their vibrant colors and intricate details.
