The history of the last name DeRamos

The surname DERAMOS has its origins in Spain, dating back to the medieval era. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish phrase "de ramos," which translates to "of branches" or "of boughs." This suggests that the name may have originally been associated with individuals who lived near a significant tree or grove of trees.

In the early 13th century, records indicate the presence of a noble family with the surname DERAMOS residing in the region of Castile. This family's lineage can be traced back to a knight named Rodrigo DERAMOS, who fought alongside King Alfonso VIII during the Reconquista, the centuries-long campaign to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Moorish rule.

As the DERAMOS name spread throughout Spain, variations in spelling emerged, such as De Ramos, DeRamos, and Deramos. These variations often reflected regional dialects and local scribal practices. Some of the earliest documented instances of the name can be found in the Becerro de Behetrías, a medieval manuscript compiled in the 14th century that served as a census of landowners and their holdings.

One notable figure bearing the DERAMOS surname was Juan DERAMOS (1516-1589), a prominent Spanish explorer and conquistador who accompanied Francisco Pizarro on his expedition to conquer the Inca Empire in Peru. Juan DERAMOS played a crucial role in the capture of the Inca ruler Atahualpa and is believed to have participated in the legendary ransom of gold and silver collected for Atahualpa's release.

Another historical figure of note was María DERAMOS (1645-1721), a Spanish nun and mystic revered for her piety and spiritual writings. Her biography, "Vida y Virtudes de la Venerable María DERAMOS," was widely circulated and gained her a following among the faithful.

In the realm of the arts, the DERAMOS name is associated with Pedro DERAMOS (1760-1832), a celebrated Spanish painter who specialized in portraiture and religious themes. His works adorned churches and noble households throughout Andalusia and can be found in several renowned art collections.

Across the Atlantic, the DERAMOS surname took root in the Americas during the Spanish colonization of the New World. One prominent figure was José DERAMOS (1785-1853), a Chilean military officer and statesman who played a pivotal role in the country's struggle for independence from Spain. He served as a general in the Chilean Army and later held the position of Minister of War and Navy.
