The history of the last name Campomanes

The surname CAMPOMANES has its origins in Spain and dates back to the medieval period. The name is derived from a combination of the Spanish words "campo" meaning field or countryside, and "manes" which was a Latinized form of the Spanish word "mano" meaning hand. This suggests the name may have referred to someone who worked the fields by hand or was a landowner.

The earliest known record of the CAMPOMANES surname appears in a 13th century document from the region of Castile. At this time, the spelling was more commonly rendered as "Campo Manes" with the two words separate. Over time it became consolidated into the single surname we recognize today.

One notable early bearer of the name was Pedro Rodríguez Campomanes, a Spanish statesman and writer who lived from 1723 to 1802. He served as president of the Council of Castile and was an influential figure of the Spanish Enlightenment.

In the 16th century, the CAMPOMANES name spread to Spanish colonies in the Americas, particularly Mexico and Peru. One early New World bearer was Juan de Campomanes, a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru in the 1530s under Francisco Pizarro.

The name also has connections to places in Spain like the town of Campomanes in the province of León. There are references to the Lords of Campomanes from this region dating back to the 1200s.
