The history of the last name Doblado

The surname Doblado is of Spanish origin, with its roots traced back to the medieval period in the Iberian Peninsula. The name is derived from the Spanish word "doblado," which means "folded" or "doubled." This suggests that the name may have originally been associated with a trade or occupation related to folding or doubling materials, such as textiles or paper.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Doblado surname can be found in the Catastro de Ensenada, a census-like document from 18th century Spain. This document lists several individuals with the surname Doblado, indicating that the name was already well-established in various regions of Spain by that time.

The Doblado name has also been linked to certain place names in Spain, such as the town of Doblada in the province of Guadalajara. It is possible that the surname originated from this or similar place names, with families adopting the name based on their place of residence or origin.

Throughout history, there have been several notable individuals bearing the Doblado surname. One such figure was Juan Doblado (1598-1663), a Spanish painter and engraver known for his religious works and portraits. Another was Mariano Doblado (1826-1876), a Mexican politician and military leader who served as the governor of Guanajuato during the Reform War.

In the realm of literature, the Doblado surname is associated with Gonzalo Doblado (1927-2001), a Mexican poet and essayist widely regarded for his contributions to the contemporary literary scene in Mexico. His works explored themes of identity, existentialism, and the human condition.

Further back in history, the Doblado name appears in records from the 16th century, with mentions of individuals like Diego Doblado, a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru alongside Francisco Pizarro in the 1530s.

While the Doblado surname has its origins in Spain, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly Latin American countries with strong Spanish cultural influences, such as Mexico, Argentina, and Cuba.
