The history of the last name Delanoval

The surname DELANOVAL is of Spanish origin, emerging in the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated from the region of Valencia, derived from the Spanish words "de la nova" meaning "of the new". This suggests the name may have been bestowed upon families who settled in newly established towns or territories during the era of Spanish exploration and colonization.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELANOVAL can be found in the archives of the city of Valencia, where a certain Juan DELANOVAL is mentioned as a landholder in 1587. Similarly, in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, a María DELANOVAL is listed among those interrogated in Seville in 1612, though her occupation and background remain unclear.

The DELANOVAL surname appears to have spread throughout Spain during the 17th and 18th centuries, with various branches of the family settling in different regions. In 1673, a Diego DELANOVAL is recorded as a merchant in the city of Cadiz, while a family by the name of DELANOVAL is mentioned as landowners in the province of Catalonia in 1729.

As Spanish explorers and settlers ventured to the Americas, the DELANOVAL name also found its way to the New World. One notable figure was Pedro DELANOVAL, a Spanish conquistador who accompanied Hernán Cortés in the conquest of Mexico in the early 16th century. Pedro DELANOVAL is believed to have been born in Seville around 1490 and participated in various battles against the Aztecs before settling in the region of Veracruz.

Another prominent individual bearing the DELANOVAL name was Juana DELANOVAL, a Spanish nun and missionary who traveled to the Philippines in the late 17th century. Born in Madrid in 1648, Juana DELANOVAL joined the Augustinian order and dedicated her life to spreading Catholicism and establishing schools in the Spanish colonies of the Philippines.
