The history of the last name Delcorral

The surname DELCORRAL is of Spanish origin, originating in the regions of Castile and Aragon during the medieval period. The name is derived from the Spanish words "del" meaning "of" or "from," and "corral," meaning an enclosed yard or pen for livestock. This suggests that the name may have originated from a location or a family involved in livestock farming or related activities.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the 13th century, when a knight named Rodrigo Delcorral was mentioned in a chronicle documenting the Reconquista, the lengthy campaign by Christian kingdoms to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Moorish rule. This suggests that the name had already been established by that time.

One notable individual was Juan Delcorral, a conquistador who accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expedition to conquer the Aztec Empire in present-day Mexico.

One member, Diego Delcorral (1602-1678), commissioned the construction of the Delcorral Palace, a notable example of Baroque architecture in the city.

Another notable figure was Miguel Delcorral (1723-1796), a Spanish naval officer and explorer who participated in several expeditions to the Pacific Northwest of present-day United States and Canada.
