The history of the last name Delgarito

The surname DELGARITO originated in Spain during the late 15th century. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish words "del" meaning "from" and "garito" meaning "a small hut or shelter." This suggests that the name may have referred to someone who lived in or was associated with a small dwelling or shelter, perhaps in a rural or remote area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DELGARITO can be found in a land registry document from the province of Andalusia, dated 1492. This document mentions a farmer named Juan DELGARITO who owned a small plot of land near the town of Almería. It is possible that this Juan DELGARITO was among the first to bear the surname.

In the 16th century, the name DELGARITO appeared in several historical records from the region of Castilla-La Mancha. A notable example is Pedro DELGARITO, a merchant from the town of Alcázar de San Juan, who is mentioned in a trade agreement from 1542.

During the 17th century, the DELGARITO surname spread to other parts of Spain, including the Basque Country and Catalonia. One prominent figure from this era was María DELGARITO, a poet and writer from Bilbao, born in 1620. Her work, which focused on themes of love and nature, was widely acclaimed during her lifetime.

In the 18th century, the name DELGARITO can be found in records from the Spanish colonies in the Americas. For instance, a document from 1782 mentions a soldier named Rodrigo DELGARITO who served in the Spanish army in Cuba.

Another notable bearer of the DELGARITO surname was Francisco DELGARITO, a renowned architect from Madrid, born in 1756. He was responsible for designing several notable buildings in the city, including the Palacio de las Cortes (the former parliament building).

As the DELGARITO family spread throughout Spain and its territories, variations of the name emerged, such as DELGARIDO and DELGADO. However, the original spelling of DELGARITO remained prominent, particularly in regions like Andalusia and Castilla-La Mancha, where the name originated.
