The history of the last name Arrambide

The surname Arrambide originates from the Basque Country, a region spanning parts of northern Spain and southwestern France. It is believed to have emerged in the 16th century, though its exact origins remain uncertain. Some scholars suggest it may derive from the Basque words "arri" (stone) and "bide" (path or way), potentially referring to a stony path or route.

Arrambide has been found in historical records from the Basque regions, including in parish registers and municipal documents. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the village of Aramayona in Álava, Spain, where an individual named Juan de Arrambide was mentioned in a 1567 census record.

For example, Martín de Arrambide, born in 1612 in Vitoria-Gasteiz, was a prominent merchant and landowner whose name is documented in local property records.

As the Basque people migrated and settled in different areas, the Arrambide surname spread to other parts of Spain and beyond. One notable figure was Ignacio de Arrambide, born in 1734 in Bilbao, who served as a military officer in the Spanish Army during the 18th century and participated in several campaigns against the French.

In the 19th century, Arrambide became a more widespread surname, with individuals bearing this name found in various parts of the world. One such person was Juan Bautista Arrambide, born in 1825 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, who was a prominent educator and advocate for universal education.
