The history of the last name Delgaizo

The surname DELGAIZO originated in Spain during the medieval period, likely in the region of Galicia or Asturias. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish words "del" meaning "from" and "gaizo" which may have referred to a rocky or stony place. This suggests that the name was initially a locational surname, given to someone who hailed from a particular rocky area or village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELGAIZO can be found in the Becerro de las Behetrias, a medieval Spanish census document from the 14th century. This record mentions a certain Pedro Delgaizo, who was a landowner in the region of Asturias.

During the 15th century, the name DELGAIZO appeared in various legal documents and property records in the city of Santiago de Compostela, a major pilgrimage site in Galicia. One notable figure was Rodrigo Delgaizo, who was a merchant and respected citizen of the city in the late 1400s.

In the 16th century, the Spanish conquest of the Americas led to the migration of many Spaniards, including those with the surname DELGAIZO, to the New World. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name in the Americas was Hernán Delgaizo, a soldier who participated in the conquest of Mexico under Hernán Cortés in the 1520s.

As the Spanish Empire expanded, the DELGAIZO name spread to other parts of the Americas. In the 17th century, a prominent figure named Juana Delgaizo was a landowner and influential figure in the city of Caracas, which was then part of the Spanish colonial territory of Venezuela.

Another notable bearer of the DELGAIZO name was Miguel Delgaizo, a Spanish military officer who served in the War of the Spanish Succession in the early 18th century. He was recognized for his bravery and leadership during the Battle of Almansa in 1707.

Throughout the centuries, the DELGAIZO surname has undergone various spelling variations, including Delgazo, Delgaço, and Delgado, which is a related but distinct surname.
