The history of the last name Daguio

The surname DAGUIO is of Spanish origin, originating in the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain. It is believed to have derived from the Galician word "daguio," which means "of waters" or "of rivers." This suggests that the name may have initially been given to individuals who lived near bodies of water or worked in occupations related to water.

The earliest recorded instances of the DAGUIO surname can be traced back to the 16th century in Spanish records and documents. One notable example is Juan Daguio, a merchant and shipowner from the port city of A Coruña, Galicia, who lived in the mid-1500s and was involved in trade with the Americas.

As Spanish exploration and colonization expanded in the Americas, particularly in the Caribbean and Mexico, the DAGUIO surname began to appear in records from these regions. In the 17th century, there are mentions of Pedro Daguio, a Spanish soldier who participated in the conquest of Puerto Rico, and Juana Daguio, a landowner in the Mexican state of Veracruz.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the DAGUIO surname can be found in various parts of Spain and its territories, often associated with individuals involved in maritime activities or living in coastal regions. Notably, there is a record of a village called Daguio in the Spanish municipality of Cambados, suggesting that the surname may have derived from a place name.

One prominent figure with the DAGUIO surname was José Daguio y Álvarez, a Spanish naval officer and explorer who lived in the late 18th century. He led several expeditions to the Pacific Northwest and mapped parts of the coast of what is now British Columbia, Canada.

Another notable individual was María Daguio de la Cruz, a Spanish philosopher and educator from the 19th century, known for her work on educational reform and women's rights. She was born in 1825 in Seville and played an influential role in the intellectual and social movements of her time.

In the 20th century, the DAGUIO surname continued to appear in various Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Latin America. One example is Ernesto Daguio, a Mexican artist and sculptor who gained recognition for his works in bronze and marble, and was active in the mid-20th century.
