Origin
Meaning and origin of Llavore
The surname Llavore has its origins in the Catalan region of Spain, with records dating back to the 15th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old Catalan word "llavors," meaning "seeds" or "grains," likely referring to an occupation or location associated with agriculture or farming.
One of the earliest documented instances of the name Llavore can be found in a land registry from the town of Valls, near Tarragona, in the year 1489. The entry mentions a certain Pere Llavore, who owned a parcel of farmland in the area. This suggests that the name was already established in the region by the late medieval period.
During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Llavore surname appeared in various municipal records and tax rolls throughout Catalonia. Notable bearers of the name from this era include Joan Llavore, a prosperous vineyard owner from Vilafranca del Penedès, who was born in 1582 and died in 1647.
By the 18th century, the Llavore family had expanded their presence beyond Catalonia, with some members settling in the nearby regions of Aragon and Valencia. One significant figure from this period was Francesc Llavore, a merchant and ship owner from Barcelona, who lived from 1721 to 1799.
In the 19th century, the Llavore surname began to appear in other parts of Spain, as well as in Spanish colonial territories. Miguel Llavore, a military officer born in 1812 in Zaragoza, served in the Spanish colonies in the Philippines and Cuba before retiring in 1875.
Another notable bearer of the Llavore name was Margarita Llavore, a renowned Catalan painter born in Barcelona in 1845. Her works, which often depicted rural scenes and landscapes, were highly acclaimed during her lifetime and can be found in various art museums across Spain.
As the centuries progressed, the Llavore surname continued to spread and evolve, with variations in spelling and pronunciation emerging in different regions. However, its roots remain firmly grounded in the agricultural heritage of Catalonia, where the name first took shape centuries ago.

When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Llavore surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.
