The history of the last name Ibanes

The surname Ibanes originated in Spain during the medieval period, derived from the Iberian Peninsula. It is likely a variant of the Spanish surname Ibañez, which itself comes from the Basque personal name "Iban" or "Ivan," a form of John. The earliest recorded examples of the name date back to the 13th century.

Records show that in 1256, a man named Domingo Ibanes was a landowner in the town of Zaragoza, Aragon. Another early reference is found in a 1287 document from Navarre, which mentions a Pedro Ibanes who was a local official.

During the Middle Ages, the name spread to other parts of Spain, particularly in areas with strong Basque influence, such as Vizcaya and Guipúzcoa. Variations in spelling, such as Ybanes and Yvanes, were common due to scribal errors and regional dialects.

One notable bearer of the name was Juan Ibanes de Betolaza, a 15th-century merchant from Vitoria who played a role in establishing trade routes between Spain and the Low Countries. Another was María Ibanes de Llodio, a 16th-century poet from the Basque Country whose works were influential in preserving the Basque language.

In the 17th century, the name is recorded in the town of Calahorra, where a family of Ibanes landowners held significant properties. One member of this family, Pedro Ibanes de Calahorra, served as a military officer during the Thirty Years' War.

Other historical figures with the surname include Miguel Ibanes, a 19th-century painter from Valencia known for his landscapes and portraits, and Josefa Ibanes y Garcés, a 19th-century playwright and novelist from Zaragoza.

While the name has faded in popularity in recent times, it remains a proud part of Spain's rich cultural heritage, with roots stretching back to the country's medieval past and the Basque people who inhabited the Iberian Peninsula centuries ago.
