Origin
Meaning and origin of Celebrado
The surname Celebrado is believed to have originated in Spain, with records dating back to the 16th century. It is derived from the Spanish word "celebrado," which means "celebrated" or "renowned." This name was likely given to individuals who were celebrated or well-known in their communities.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the Celebrado surname can be found in the archives of the city of Seville, where a certain Juan Celebrado was mentioned in a document dated 1576. This document detailed a legal dispute over property ownership, suggesting that the Celebrado family was already established and had some wealth and influence during this time.
In the late 17th century, the Celebrado name appeared in several records related to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. For instance, a soldier named Diego Celebrado was part of an expedition to the Caribbean in 1684. This indicates that some members of the Celebrado family were involved in the exploration and conquest of the New World.
During the 18th century, the Celebrado surname was also found in the region of Catalonia, in northeastern Spain. A notable figure from this time period was Josefa Celebrado, a prominent writer and poet who was born in Barcelona in 1738 and died in 1810. Her works were widely acclaimed and contributed to the cultural renaissance of Catalan literature.
In the 19th century, the Celebrado name gained further recognition with the birth of Francisco Celebrado (1821-1895), a renowned artist from Madrid. His paintings, which often depicted scenes from Spanish history and folklore, were exhibited in various galleries across Europe and earned him widespread acclaim.
Another notable individual with the Celebrado surname was Margarita Celebrado (1867-1942), a pioneer in the field of education. She founded several schools in her hometown of Zaragoza and was instrumental in promoting literacy and equal educational opportunities for women in Spain.
Throughout history, the Celebrado surname has been associated with individuals who have achieved recognition and celebrated status in various fields, including the arts, literature, military, and education. While the name originated in Spain, it has since spread to other parts of the world, carried by descendants of the original Celebrado families.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Celebrado surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
