The history of the last name Castrohernande

The surname CASTROHERNANDE is a combination of two Spanish surnames, Castro and Hernandez, and its origins can be traced back to the Iberian Peninsula during the Middle Ages.

The first part of the name, Castro, is derived from the Latin word "castrum," which means "fortified place" or "castle." It is believed that this surname was initially given to individuals who lived near or were associated with a particular castle or fortified settlement. Historically, the Castro surname was prevalent in regions of Spain such as Galicia, Asturias, and León.

On the other hand, the second part of the name, Hernandez, is a patronymic surname, meaning it was derived from the given name of an ancestor. In this case, Hernandez is a variant of the Spanish name Hernán or Fernando, which is derived from the Germanic name Ferdinand. This surname was commonly found in the regions of Castile and Andalusia.
