The history of the last name Juvera

The surname JUVERA has its origins in Spain, emerging in the region of Andalusia during the early 15th century. It is believed to be derived from the Arabic word "jauhar," which means "jewel" or "precious stone." This linguistic influence is a reflection of the Moorish presence in the Iberian Peninsula for several centuries.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name JUVERA can be found in a municipal document from the town of Seville, dated 1432. The document mentions a certain Rodrigo JUVERA, a landowner and merchant who contributed to the local economy. This suggests that the name was already well-established in the area at that time.

In the 16th century, the name JUVERA appeared in several historical records related to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. Notable individuals include Juan JUVERA (1524-1598), a conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru under Francisco Pizarro, and Isabel JUVERA (1541-1612), a settler in the city of Havana, Cuba.

As the Spanish Empire expanded, the name JUVERA spread to various regions of the Americas. In the 17th century, Pedro JUVERA (1621-1685) was a prominent landowner and cattle rancher in the Viceroyalty of New Spain, now known as Mexico. His descendants continued to use the surname in the region for generations.

One of the most renowned individuals with the JUVERA surname was Miguel JUVERA (1789-1854), a Spanish military officer and politician who served as the Prime Minister of Spain from 1847 to 1851.
