Origin
Meaning and origin of Estades
The surname Estades has its origins in Spain, where it first emerged as a toponymic name derived from the place name Estada, which is a municipality located in the province of Huesca, in the Aragon region of Spain. The name is believed to have originated during the medieval period, likely between the 11th and 13th centuries.
The name Estades is thought to be derived from the Latin word "statio," which means "a place to stop" or "a resting place." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a location where travelers or merchants would stop to rest during their journeys. The earliest recorded instances of this surname can be traced back to the 13th century, when it appeared in various records and documents from the Aragon region.
One notable historical reference to the name Estades can be found in the "Llibre del Repartiment," a 13th-century document that recorded the distribution of lands and properties in the Kingdom of Valencia after its conquest by the Crown of Aragon in 1238. This document mentions several individuals with the surname Estades who were granted lands and properties in the newly acquired territories.
The earliest known individual with the surname Estades was Juan Estades, a nobleman who lived in the 13th century and was a member of the court of King James I of Aragon. Another notable figure was Pedro Estades, a military commander who fought alongside King James I during the Reconquista, the medieval campaign to retake the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors.
In the 14th century, the name Estades appeared in various records from the town of Estada, suggesting that the surname was closely associated with this particular location. One prominent individual from this period was Ramón Estades, a merchant and landowner who was involved in the trade of wool and other goods between Aragon and other regions of Spain.
During the 15th century, the Estades family continued to hold significant influence and wealth, as evidenced by the existence of several noble households bearing this surname. One notable figure from this era was Juana Estades, a noblewoman who was a patron of the arts and sponsored the construction of several churches and monasteries in the Aragon region.
As the centuries progressed, the Estades surname spread beyond the borders of Spain, with individuals bearing this name found in various parts of Europe and the Americas. However, the name's roots remained firmly planted in the Aragon region of Spain, where it continues to be a prominent surname to this day.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Estades surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
