One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Lloret can be found in the "Llibre del Repartiment," a historical document that details the distribution of lands and properties among the Catalan and Aragonese nobles who participated in the conquest of Valencia in the 13th century.

In the 14th century, a prominent figure named Arnau Lloret served as a royal counselor to King Pere III of Aragon (1319-1387). Arnau Lloret's influential position and close proximity to the king likely contributed to the prestige and recognition of the Lloret surname during that period.
