The history of the last name Euyoque

The surname EUYOQUE traces its origins to the Basque region of northern Spain and southwestern France, dating back to the medieval period around the 11th century. This distinctive name is believed to have derived from the Basque words "eu" meaning "good" and "oque" meaning "bread," potentially referring to an occupation or status related to baking or the provision of quality bread.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Cartulario de San Millán de la Cogolla, a 12th-century cartulary from the Monastery of San Millán de la Cogolla in La Rioja, Spain. This document mentions an individual named Sancho Euyoque, who was a landowner in the region during that time.

In the 14th century, the name EUYOQUE appeared in the Libro de la Merindad de Tudela, a historical manuscript documenting the administration of the Merindad (a territorial division) of Tudela in Navarre. This record includes references to several individuals bearing the surname, including García Euyoque, a prominent merchant from the city of Tudela.

During the 15th century, the EUYOQUE family gained prominence in the Basque Country, with Juan Euyoque (c. 1410-1482) becoming a respected magistrate and judge in the town of Bayonne, which was then part of the Kingdom of Navarre. His son, Pedro Euyoque (1458-1524), followed in his footsteps and served as a legal advisor to the Crown of Castile.

Another notable figure with the surname was Martín Euyoque (c. 1520-1588), a Basque navigator and explorer who accompanied Juan Sebastián Elcano on the latter's circumnavigation of the globe in the 16th century. Martín's detailed accounts of the voyage provided valuable insights into the exploration of the Pacific Ocean and the discovery of new lands.

In the 17th century, the EUYOQUE name was also found in the records of the Inquisition in Spain, with María Euyoque (c. 1625-1692) being tried and acquitted of charges related to alleged heretical beliefs. Despite this challenging episode, the family maintained its standing in the Basque region throughout the centuries.
