The surname GUZMANHERNANDE is a Spanish surname with origins tracing back to the 15th century. It is a combination of the Spanish surnames Guzman and Hernandez, both of which have distinct roots and histories.

The name Guzman is believed to have originated from the Basque region of Spain, specifically the town of Guzmán in the province of Burgos. The name is derived from the Basque word "gozeman," which means "good man" or "nobleman." The Guzman family was a prominent and influential noble family in medieval Spain, with members holding important positions in the government and military.

The Hernandez surname, on the other hand, has its origins in the Iberian Peninsula and is a patronymic surname derived from the given name Hernando, which is a Spanish form of the Germanic name Ferdinand. The name Hernando was popular among the Visigoths who ruled parts of Spain in the 5th to 8th centuries.

One of the earliest recorded references to the combined surname GUZMANHERNANDE can be found in a 16th-century document from the Spanish colonial archives, which mentions a Don Alonso Guzman Hernandez, a conquistador and explorer who participated in the conquest of the Americas.
