Linarte is closely related to other surnames with similar spellings, such as Linares, Linares, and Linares, which are also of Spanish origin. These variations likely arose due to regional differences in pronunciation and spelling conventions.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Linarte can be found in the Cartulario de Celanova, a collection of medieval documents from the Monastery of Celanova in Galicia, dating back to the 12th century.

Several members of the Linarte family held positions of influence, including Pedro Linarte, who served as a magistrate in the city of Valladolid in the mid-17th century.

In the 18th century, a notable figure was María Linarte, a renowned Spanish painter who specialized in religious themes and portraiture. Her works can be found in several churches and museums throughout Spain.
