The history of the last name Flores-Rodríguez

The surname FLORESRODRIGUE is a Spanish compound surname that originates from the Iberian Peninsula, specifically the regions of Castile and Aragon, during the medieval period. It is a combination of the Spanish words "flores" meaning "flowers" and "rodrigue" derived from the Germanic name Roderic or Roderick.

The earliest recorded instances of this surname can be traced back to the 12th century, when it appeared in various historical documents and records from the Kingdom of Castile. One notable example is the Becerro de las Behetrías, a manuscript compiled in the 14th century that listed landowners and their properties.

In the 15th century, the FLORESRODRIGUE surname gained prominence with the birth of Diego Floresrodrigue (1430-1490), a prominent Spanish nobleman and military commander who served under the Catholic Monarchs, Isabella I of Castile and Ferdinand II of Aragon. He played a crucial role in the Reconquista, the campaign to drive out the Moors from the Iberian Peninsula.

Another notable figure with this surname was Francisca Floresrodrigue (1550-1620), a Spanish nun and mystic who founded the Convent of the Immaculate Conception in Toledo. She was known for her piety and her writings on spiritual matters.

One such individual was Juan Floresrodrigue (1680-1745), a Spanish explorer and navigator who led expeditions to the Pacific Northwest and helped map the coastline of present-day California.
