The history of the last name Delcarpio

The surname Delcarpio is believed to have originated in Spain during the medieval period. It is derived from the Spanish phrase "del carpio," which translates to "of the meadow" or "from the meadow." This suggests that the name was initially given to someone who lived near or owned a meadow or field.

The earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the 13th century in various regions of Spain, particularly in the regions of Castile and Aragon. It is possible that the name was originally a descriptive surname, given to individuals who resided in or near a meadow or grassy area.

In historical documents, such as the Becerro de las Behetrías, a census-like record from the 14th century, there are several mentions of individuals with the surname Delcarpio. This suggests that the name had already been established and was in use during that time period.

One notable historical figure with the surname Delcarpio was Rodrigo Delcarpio, a Spanish nobleman and military commander who lived in the 15th century. He played a significant role in the Reconquista, the centuries-long struggle to drive the Moors out of the Iberian Peninsula.

Another individual of note was María Delcarpio, a Spanish poet and writer who lived in the 16th century. She is remembered for her contributions to Spanish literature during the Golden Age and her work as a member of the literary circle in Seville.

In the 17th century, Juan Delcarpio was a prominent architect who designed several churches and public buildings in the city of Valladolid, Spain. His works are considered important examples of the Baroque architectural style in Spain.

Moving to the 18th century, Pedro Delcarpio was a Spanish explorer and navigator who participated in several voyages to the Americas. He is credited with charting and mapping several islands in the Caribbean Sea.
