The history of the last name Juanes

The surname "JUANES" has its origins in Spain and can be traced back to the medieval era. It is derived from the Spanish given name "Juan," which itself is a variation of the Hebrew name "Yohanan," meaning "Graced by God."

The earliest known record of the surname JUANES dates back to the 13th century, when it appeared in various documents and records from the regions of Castile and Aragon. It is believed that the name was originally used as a patronymic, meaning "son of Juan," and was later adopted as a hereditary surname.

One of the earliest documented individuals bearing the surname JUANES was Pedro JUANES, a prominent merchant and landowner who lived in the city of Seville in the late 14th century. His family's wealth and influence were recorded in several historical documents from that time.

In the 15th century, the JUANES surname gained further prominence when it was associated with a noble family from the town of Alcalá de Henares, near Madrid. The family's coat of arms and ancestral lineage were documented in the "Libro de Armería" (Book of Heraldry), which was compiled during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon.

Another notable figure bearing the JUANES surname was Friar Juan JUANES, a renowned painter from the Spanish Renaissance period. Born in Valencia in 1523, he was celebrated for his religious works and was commissioned by prominent churches and monasteries throughout Spain.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the JUANES name spread beyond Spain's borders as Spanish explorers and settlers ventured to the Americas. One such individual was Diego JUANES, a conquistador who participated in the conquest of Mexico alongside Hernán Cortés in the early 1500s.
