The earliest known record of the LLADO surname dates back to the 13th century. In 1264, a document from the town of Lleida mentions a person named Bernat Llado. This indicates that the name was already in use at that time and had likely been established in the region for several generations.

In the 14th century, the LLADO name appeared in various historical records from Catalonia, such as property deeds and municipal registers. One notable example is the mention of a landowner named Pere Llado in a document from the village of Castelló d'Empúries in 1367.
