The history of the last name Ciprés

The surname Cipres is of Spanish origin, first appearing in records from the 15th century. It is believed to have originated from the Spanish word "ciprés," which means cypress tree. This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who lived near a grove of cypress trees or perhaps worked with the wood from these trees.

The earliest known record of the Cipres surname dates back to 1487 in the town of Seville, Spain. An individual named Juan Cipres was mentioned in a local tax record from that year. It is possible that the name was derived from a place name, as there are several small villages in Spain with names similar to Cipres, such as Ciprés and Cipresillo.

In the 16th century, the Cipres surname began to appear in other regions of Spain, particularly in the areas of Valencia and Catalonia. One notable individual from this time period was Pedro Cipres, a merchant from Barcelona who was involved in the trade of spices and other goods with the Americas.

The Cipres surname also made its way to the Americas during the Spanish colonization. One of the earliest instances was in 1592, when a soldier named Diego Cipres was part of an expedition to the Philippines. Other early bearers of the name included Antonio Cipres, a landowner in Mexico in the 17th century, and Juana Cipres, a settler in Peru in the 1600s.

Throughout the centuries, there have been several notable individuals with the Cipres surname. Juan Cipres (1550-1621) was a Spanish painter known for his religious works in the Baroque style. Antonio Cipres (1793-1867) was a Spanish military officer who fought in the Peninsular War against Napoleon's forces. Pedro Cipres (1867-1935) was a Catalan writer and poet, known for his works celebrating the Catalan language and culture.

In the 20th century, Manuel Cipres (1915-1997) was a prominent Spanish architect who designed several notable buildings in Madrid and Barcelona.
