One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulario de San Millán de la Cogolla, a collection of medieval documents from the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla in La Rioja, Spain. In these documents, dated around the year 1050, a certain "Didacus Cuizon" is mentioned as a landowner in the region.
