The history of the last name Corcolés

The surname Corcoles originated in Spain during the medieval period. It is derived from the Spanish word "corcol," which means "small cask" or "barrel." This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who worked as a cooper or barrel-maker.

The earliest recorded instances of the name Corcoles can be traced back to the 13th century in the region of Aragon, located in northeastern Spain. It is believed that the name was originally spelled "Corcól" or "Corcol" in its Aragonese form.

One of the earliest known references to the name Corcoles is found in the Aragonese manuscript "Fueros de Aragón," which dates back to the 13th century. This document contains legal codes and bylaws that governed the region during that time, and it mentions individuals with the surname Corcoles.

In the 15th century, a notable figure named Juan Corcoles (1420-1492) was a renowned scholar and philosopher from the city of Zaragoza, Aragon. He was known for his contributions to the field of logic and his teachings at the University of Zaragoza.

During the 16th century, the name Corcoles spread to other parts of Spain, particularly in the regions of Castile and Andalusia. One notable bearer of the name was Pedro Corcoles (1525-1591), a Spanish military commander who played a significant role in the Spanish conquest of the Philippines.

In the 17th century, the name Corcoles appeared in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, which documented individuals accused of heresy or other religious offenses. One such individual was María Corcoles (1610-1680), a resident of Seville, who was tried and convicted by the Inquisition for alleged witchcraft practices.

As the centuries passed, the name Corcoles continued to be present in various regions of Spain, often associated with different occupations and social classes. For instance, in the 19th century, there was a prominent Corcoles family in the city of Granada, known for their involvement in the textile industry.
