The history of the last name Eudave

The surname EUDAVE originated in the Basque region of Spain and France during the medieval period. It is derived from the Basque words "eu" meaning "good" and "dabe" meaning "he has." The name likely referred to a person of good character or reputation.

One of the earliest recorded references to the EUDAVE surname can be found in a 13th-century medieval document from the town of Hendaye, located in the Basque region of France. The document mentions a certain "Petri de Eudave" who was a landowner in the area.

In the 15th century, the EUDAVE name appeared in various records from the Basque provinces of Guipúzcoa and Vizcaya in Spain. One notable individual was Juan de Eudave, a merchant and ship owner from the port city of San Sebastián, who lived from around 1425 to 1498.

The EUDAVE surname is also associated with the town of Eudave (or Eudave de Navarra), located in the medieval Kingdom of Navarre, which straddled the modern-day borders of Spain and France. This place name likely influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the surname over time.

In the 16th century, a branch of the EUDAVE family settled in the Spanish colonies of the Americas, particularly in Mexico and Peru. One notable figure from this era was Diego de Eudave, a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru under Francisco Pizarro in the 1530s.

Another prominent individual with the EUDAVE surname was Juan Antonio de Eudave y Nava, a Spanish military officer and colonial administrator who served as the Governor of the Philippines from 1739 to 1745.
