The history of the last name Autaubo

The surname AUTAUBO is believed to have originated in the Basque region of northern Spain and southwestern France during the Middle Ages. It is derived from the Basque words "aut" meaning "pass" or "mountain pass" and "aubo" meaning "town" or "village," suggesting that the name may have referred to someone who lived near or was associated with a particular mountain pass or village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a 12th-century cartulary, which was a manuscript book containing transcripts of charters and other legal documents. In this cartulary, a landowner named Petrus de Autaubo was mentioned in connection with a property dispute in the village of Autaubo, located in the Pyrenees region of Navarre.

During the 13th century, the name appeared in various records throughout the Basque Country and neighboring regions. For instance, a certain Johanes de Autaubo was listed as a witness in a legal document from the town of Roncesvalles in 1267. Additionally, an individual named Maria de Autaubo was mentioned in a church registry from the village of Sare in 1289.

In the 14th century, the name AUTAUBO began to spread beyond the Basque region, likely due to migration and trade. Records from this period indicate that a merchant named Guillem d'Autaubo was active in the city of Barcelona, and a soldier named Arnaut d'Autaubo fought in the Hundred Years' War under the command of the famous French military leader Bertrand du Guesclin (1320-1380).
