The history of the last name Delatrinidad

The surname DELATRINIDAD is of Spanish origin, tracing its roots back to the late 15th century during the time of the Spanish conquest of the Americas. The name is believed to be derived from the Spanish phrase "de la Trinidad," which translates to "of the Trinity," referring to the Christian concept of the Holy Trinity.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in historical documents from the Spanish colonial era in the Americas, particularly in regions where Catholic missionaries established settlements and converted indigenous populations to Christianity. The name may have been adopted by individuals or families who lived near churches or missions dedicated to the Holy Trinity.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the DELATRINIDAD surname appears in various colonial records and manuscripts from Spanish possessions in the Caribbean and Central America. For example, Hernán DELATRINIDAD, a Spanish conquistador born in 1521, is mentioned in accounts of the conquest of Guatemala.

In the 18th century, the name can be found in parish records and land grant documents from Spanish territories in modern-day Mexico, such as Juan DELATRINIDAD, a rancher born in 1742 in Nuevo León. Additionally, María DELATRINIDAD, a prominent landowner in California, is recorded in Spanish mission records from the late 18th century.
