The history of the last name de la Madrid

The surname DELAMADRID is of Spanish origin, originating in the regions around Madrid, Spain in the 16th century. It is a locational surname, derived from the old Spanish phrase "de la Madrid" meaning "from Madrid" or "from the area of Madrid." The name likely arose as a way to identify someone who had moved from the city or region of Madrid to another area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname DELAMADRID can be found in the Spanish Inquisition records from the late 16th century, where a Fernando Delamadrid was mentioned as a resident of Seville. This suggests that the name had already spread from its origins around Madrid to other parts of Spain by that time.

In the 17th century, the name appears in various church and municipal records throughout Spain, particularly in the regions of Castile and Andalusia. Notable early bearers of the surname include Juan Delamadrid, a soldier who fought in the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648), and María Delamadrid, a renowned lace-maker from Seville in the late 1600s.

As Spanish explorers and settlers ventured to the Americas in the 16th and 17th centuries, the surname DELAMADRID would have likely spread to the Spanish colonies. One of the earliest known bearers of the name in the New World was Pedro Delamadrid, a conquistador who accompanied Hernán Cortés in the conquest of Mexico in the 1520s.

In the 18th century, the name continued to be found in various records across Spain and its territories. A noteworthy individual was José Delamadrid, a prominent architect who designed several churches and public buildings in Mexico City in the late 1700s.

As the Spanish Empire expanded and trade routes were established, the surname DELAMADRID likely spread to other parts of Europe and the world through migration and intermarriage. However, its roots and history remain firmly tied to the city and region of Madrid in Spain.
