The history of the last name Durazno

The surname DURAZNO has its origins in the Spanish language and can be traced back to the region of Extremadura in western Spain during the 15th century. It is believed to be derived from the Spanish word "durazno," which means "peach," suggesting that the name may have been given to someone who lived near a peach orchard or was involved in the cultivation or trade of peaches.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name DURAZNO can be found in the Archivo General de Indias (General Archive of the Indies) in Seville, Spain. This archive contains documents related to the Spanish colonial administration in the Americas, and it mentions a person named Juan Durazno who was a colonist in the Viceroyalty of Peru in the late 16th century.

In the 17th century, the DURAZNO surname appeared in various records and manuscripts from Spain and its colonies. For example, a document from the Archivo General de Simancas (General Archive of Simancas) in Valladolid, Spain, dated 1623, mentions a person named Pedro Durazno who was involved in a legal dispute over land ownership.

As Spanish explorers and colonists ventured into the Americas, the DURAZNO surname spread to various regions, including present-day Mexico, Colombia, and Argentina. One notable person with this surname was José Durazno, a Spanish military officer who served in the Viceroyalty of the Río de la Plata (present-day Argentina and Uruguay) during the late 18th century.

Another historical figure with the DURAZNO surname was María Durazno, born in 1792 in Córdoba, Argentina. She was a prominent educator and advocate for women's rights, establishing one of the first schools for girls in her region.

In the 19th century, the DURAZNO surname continued to be present in various parts of the Spanish-speaking world. For example, records show that a man named Ramón Durazno, born in 1825 in Seville, Spain, was a renowned poet and writer who published several collections of poems and plays.

Juan Durazno, born in 1867 in Guadalajara, Mexico, was a renowned architect who designed several notable buildings in his hometown, including the Guadalajara Cathedral and the Teatro Degollado.
