The history of the last name Cudiamat

The surname CUDIAMAT originates from the region of Galicia, located in the northwestern corner of Spain. It is believed to have its roots in the early medieval era, around the 8th or 9th century CE. The name may be derived from the Old Spanish words "cudia" meaning "court" and "mat" possibly referring to a mat or carpet maker who worked for a noble household or court.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the CUDIAMAT name can be found in a document from the Monastery of San Salvador de Celanova, dated around 1120 CE.

In the 13th century, the CUDIAMAT name appears to have spread to other parts of the Iberian Peninsula, including Portugal. A notable figure from this period was Fernán CUDIAMAT, a knight who served under King Alfonso X of Castile and León (1252-1284 CE).
