The history of the last name Chabarria

The surname CHABARRIA originates from the Basque region of northern Spain and southern France, where it dates back to the 12th century. It is derived from the Basque word "txabarria," which means "new village" or "new settlement." This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who established a new village or lived in a newly founded settlement.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name CHABARRIA can be found in a charter from the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla, dated 1187. The document mentions a person named "Lope Chabarria" as a witness to a land transaction. This suggests that the CHABARRIA surname was already in use by the late 12th century in the Basque region.

In the 14th century, the CHABARRIA name appears in various municipal records in the Basque provinces of Álava and Vizcaya. For example, a certain "Juan Martínez de Chabarria" is mentioned as a landowner in the town of Laguardia in 1345.

During the 16th century, the CHABARRIA surname spread beyond the Basque region due to migration and exploration. One notable figure was Juan de Chabarria (c. 1520-1590), a Spanish conquistador who accompanied Francisco Pizarro on his expeditions to Peru. He is mentioned in several chronicles of the conquest, such as the writings of Pedro Cieza de León.

In the 17th century, there are records of a CHABARRIA family in the town of Guernica, Vizcaya. One member, José de Chabarria (1635-1702), was a prominent merchant and shipowner who traded with the Americas.

3. Ignacio de Chabarria (1785-1865), a Spanish politician and lawyer who served as a deputy in the Cortes during the reign of Ferdinand VII.
4. Tomás de Chabarria (1820-1892), a Basque businessman and industrialist who founded several iron foundries and shipyards in Vizcaya.
5. José María de Chabarria (1860-1924), a Spanish painter and illustrator known for his genre scenes and portraits of Basque life.
