The history of the last name Cejudo

The surname Cejudo is of Spanish origin, originating in the region of Andalusia in southern Spain. It is derived from the Spanish word "cejudo," which means "having prominent eyebrows." This suggests that the name was likely a descriptive nickname given to someone with distinctive eyebrows.

The earliest known record of the Cejudo surname dates back to the 15th century in the town of Priego de Córdoba, located in the province of Córdoba, Andalusia. In a document from 1482, a certain Juan Cejudo is mentioned as a landowner in the area.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Cejudo family spread across Spain, with members settling in various regions, including Castile, Aragon, and even the Canary Islands. One notable figure from this period was Diego Cejudo, a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Mexico under Hernán Cortés in the early 1500s.

In the 18th century, the surname Cejudo began to appear in various Spanish colonies in the Americas, particularly in Mexico and parts of South America. This was likely due to the migration of Spanish settlers and explorers during the colonial era.

One of the earliest recorded bearers of the Cejudo surname in the Americas was Pedro Cejudo, a Spanish soldier and explorer who was born in Seville, Spain, in 1707. He later settled in New Spain (now Mexico) and was involved in the exploration of territories in what is now the southwestern United States.

Another notable figure with the Cejudo surname was Francisca Cejudo y Velasco (1740-1807), a Spanish noblewoman and landowner from Seville. She inherited significant wealth and properties from her family, making her one of the wealthiest women in Andalusia at the time.

In the 19th century, the Cejudo surname continued to spread across Spain and its former colonies, with families establishing roots in various regions. One notable bearer was Manuel Cejudo Martínez (1845-1912), a Spanish writer and journalist from Málaga, Andalusia, who was known for his works on local history and culture.

Throughout history, the Cejudo surname has also been associated with several variations in spelling, such as Cejuda, Cexudo, and Cexuda, which reflect regional dialects and linguistic variations within the Spanish language.
