The history of the last name Cabael

The surname CABAEL is believed to have originated from the Catalan region of Spain in the late medieval period around the 14th century. It is thought to be derived from the Catalan word "cabael," which means "a small parcel of land." This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with landowners or tenants who owned or worked on small plots of land.

The earliest recorded instances of the surname CABAEL can be found in historical documents from the Catalan region, such as land registries, tax records, and local census data. One of the earliest known bearers of the name was Joan CABAEL, who was mentioned in a land deed from the town of Tarragona in 1387.

In the 15th century, the name appears to have spread beyond the Catalan region, with records indicating the presence of individuals with the surname CABAEL in other parts of Spain, as well as in parts of southern France and the Balearic Islands. This migration may have been driven by economic or political factors, such as the search for new opportunities or the displacement caused by conflicts.

One notable figure bearing the CABAEL surname was Pedro CABAEL, a Catalan merchant and explorer who participated in several voyages to the Americas in the late 16th century. Records indicate that he was born in Barcelona around 1550 and was involved in the trade of goods between Spain and its colonies in the New World.

Another individual of historical significance was Juana CABAEL, a Catalan scholar and writer who lived in the 17th century. She was known for her works on philosophy and theology, and her writings were influential in intellectual circles of the time. Juana CABAEL was born in Girona in 1612 and is believed to have died in Barcelona in 1688.

In the 18th century, the CABAEL surname can be found in records from various regions of Spain, as well as in parts of Italy and Portugal. One notable bearer of the name during this period was Antonio CABAEL, a Spanish military officer who served in the Spanish Army during the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714).

As the centuries passed, the CABAEL surname continued to be present in various parts of the Spanish-speaking world, with individuals bearing the name playing roles in various fields, including politics, arts, and academia.
