The history of the last name Bogarín

The surname Bogarin is believed to have originated in Spain, with its roots dating back to the 12th century or earlier. It likely derived from the Spanish word "bogar," meaning "to row," suggesting that the name's earliest bearers may have been rowers or lived near bodies of water.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Bogarin can be found in the medieval Spanish manuscript "El Cantar de Mio Cid," which mentions a certain Rodrigo Bogarin as a knight fighting alongside the legendary hero El Cid. This suggests that the name had already established itself among the Spanish nobility by the 12th century.

During the 15th century, various Bogarin families were documented in the Basque region of Spain, particularly in the provinces of Gipuzkoa and Bizkaia. The name's prevalence in this area may indicate that it originated or became concentrated there before spreading to other parts of the country.

In the 16th century, Juan Bogarin de Orozco (born c. 1500) was a notable Spanish military officer who served under Emperor Charles V and participated in the conquests of Mexico and Peru. His exploits and achievements were recorded in several chronicles of the Spanish conquest of the Americas.

Another notable figure bearing the Bogarin surname was Pedro Bogarin (1592-1663), a Spanish painter active during the Baroque period. He was part of the circle of artists around Diego Velázquez and is known for his religious and historical paintings, many of which can still be found in churches and museums in Spain.

In the 18th century, the Bogarin name appeared in various Spanish colonial records, suggesting that members of the family had ventured to the New World. One such individual was José Bogarin (1720-1798), a settler in the Spanish colony of Florida who later became a prominent landowner and cattle rancher.

Throughout its history, the Bogarin surname has also been associated with various place names and variations in spelling, such as Bogarín, Bogarino, and Bogarini. These variations likely emerged as the name spread across different regions and dialects within Spain and its former colonies.
