The history of the last name Llanto

The surname LLANTO originated in Spain during the 16th century. It is derived from the Spanish word "llanto," which means "weeping" or "crying." The name likely referred to someone who had a tendency to cry frequently or who had a distinctive crying sound.

LLANTO is believed to have originated in the regions of Andalusia and Extremadura in southern Spain, where it was first recorded in parish records and local documents. Some historians suggest that the name may have been given as a nickname to individuals who were particularly emotional or prone to tears.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the LLANTO surname can be found in the baptismal records of Seville, where a child named Juan LLANTO was born in 1562. Another early record comes from the village of Almonte in Huelva, where a man named Pedro LLANTO appeared in a land registry in 1583.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the LLANTO surname began to spread throughout other parts of Spain, particularly in the regions of Castile and Aragon. Notable individuals with the LLANTO surname during this time include Francisco LLANTO (1624-1692), a Sevillian poet and playwright, and María LLANTO (1678-1743), a renowned lace maker from Valencia.

As the Spanish Empire expanded, the LLANTO surname also found its way to the Americas. One of the earliest recorded instances in the New World was Hernando LLANTO, a conquistador who accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expedition to Mexico in 1519. Another notable figure was Diego LLANTO (1745-1823), a Spanish-born military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War on the side of the British.
