One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Carriedo can be found in the "Becerro de las Behetrías" (Book of Lands), a 14th-century manuscript that documented land ownership and taxation in the region of Castile.

During the 16th century, Pedro Carriedo was a renowned Spanish navigator and explorer who participated in several expeditions to the Americas. He was born in Burgos in 1510 and is credited with mapping parts of the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico.

In the 17th century, María Carriedo, a noblewoman from Burgos, gained recognition for her philanthropic efforts. She founded a hospital and an orphanage in her hometown, which bore her name, and dedicated her life to helping the less fortunate.

The 19th century saw the birth of Rafael Carriedo, a prominent Spanish politician and lawyer. Born in Santander in 1829, he served as a member of the Spanish parliament and played a crucial role in the development of legal reforms during his time.
