The history of the last name DePablo

The surname DEPABLO has its origins in Spain, tracing back to the late 15th century. It is believed to have originated from the Spanish given name Pablo, which is derived from the Latin name Paulus, meaning "small" or "humble." The prefix "de" was commonly added to surnames in Spain, indicating a place of origin or connection.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname DEPABLO can be found in the Spanish archives from the late 15th century, where it appears in documents related to the Spanish Inquisition. It is thought that the name may have been associated with families of converso (converted Jewish) ancestry during this period.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, the DEPABLO surname began to spread across various regions of Spain, particularly in Andalusia, Castile, and Aragón. It is possible that the name was connected to certain place names or locations, but records from this time are scarce and often incomplete.
