The history of the last name Delcid

The surname DELCID is believed to have originated in Spain, likely during the late Middle Ages or early Renaissance period, around the 15th or 16th century. It is thought to have derived from the Spanish phrase "del cid," which means "of the lord" or "of the master." This could suggest that the name may have initially been associated with individuals who served or worked for a prominent lord or master during that time.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELCID can be found in the archives of the city of Valencia, Spain, where a document from the year 1487 mentions a certain Pedro Delcid, a landowner and farmer. Another early reference is found in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, where a Juan Delcid was listed as a witness in a trial held in Seville in 1564.

The DELCID name is also linked to several notable historical figures. For example, Rodrigo Delcid was a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of the Mayan territories in present-day Guatemala during the early 16th century. Another individual, María Delcid, was a renowned poet and writer from Seville who lived in the late 16th century and published several collections of her works.

In the 17th century, a prominent family with the surname DELCID resided in the town of Santander, in northern Spain. One member of this family, Diego Delcid, was a respected merchant and shipowner who traded goods between Spain and the Americas. Another notable figure from this time period was Juana Delcid, a nun and educator who established one of the first schools for girls in Seville.

During the 18th century, the DELCID name gained recognition in the field of architecture and engineering. Antonio Delcid was a renowned architect who designed several important buildings in Madrid, including the Palacio de las Cortes (the seat of the Spanish parliament). His son, Francisco Delcid, followed in his footsteps and became a respected civil engineer, known for his work on several bridges and aqueducts throughout Spain.

As the surname DELCID spread beyond Spain, it can be found in various historical records and documents from other parts of the world, particularly in regions that were once part of the Spanish Empire or had significant Spanish influence. However, the name's origins and earliest known instances can be traced back to the Iberian Peninsula during the late medieval and early modern periods.
