The history of the last name Borbón

The surname "BORBON" is of Spanish origin, tracing its roots back to the 15th century. It is derived from the French word "Bourbon," which refers to the Bourbon dynasty that ruled France and several other European countries. The name is believed to have originated from the small village of Bourbon-l'Archambault in the Auvergne region of central France.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name "BORBON" can be found in the chronicles of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. In the 16th century, several Spanish conquistadors bore this surname, including Juan de Borbon, who participated in the conquest of Mexico under Hernán Cortés.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Bourbon dynasty played a significant role in European history. The name gained prominence when Philippe de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou, became King Philip V of Spain in 1700, establishing the Bourbon line of Spanish monarchs. Notable figures from this era include King Charles III of Spain (1716-1788), who oversaw a period of enlightened reforms and cultural renaissance in Spain.

In the 19th century, the name "BORBON" was associated with the Carlist Wars in Spain, a series of civil wars fought between the supporters of the Bourbon monarchy and those who favored alternative claimants to the throne. One of the most prominent figures of this period was Carlos María Isidro de Borbón (1788-1855), the first Carlist pretender to the Spanish throne.

Throughout history, the surname "BORBON" has been carried by various individuals of note, including:

1. Juan de Borbon (16th century), Spanish conquistador in the conquest of Mexico.
2. Luis de Borbon (1670-1718), Prince of Asturias and heir to the Spanish throne.
3. Mariano Roca de Togores y Arjona, Marqués de Molins (1812-1889), Spanish military leader and statesman.
4. María Eugenia de Borbón y Borbón-Dos Sicilias (1864-1958), Countess of Villaverde and a member of the Spanish royal family.
5. Juan de Borbón y Battenberg (1913-1977), Count of Barcelona and a claimant to the Spanish throne.

The surname "BORBON" has a rich and storied history, deeply intertwined with the monarchies and political upheavals of Spain and France. While its origins can be traced back to a small village in France, the name has left an indelible mark on the annals of European history.
