The history of the last name LópezRamírez

The surname LOPEZRAMIREZ is a compound Spanish surname that originated in Spain during the medieval period. It is derived from the combination of the paternal surname Lopez and the maternal surname Ramirez.

Lopez is a patronymic surname that means "son of Lope." Lope is a Spanish form of the Germanic name Loup, which means "wolf." The name Lopez can be traced back to the 9th century in the northern regions of Spain, particularly in areas such as Castile and Leon.

Ramirez, on the other hand, is a patronymic surname derived from the Spanish name Ramiro, which is of Germanic origin and means "wise protector." The name Ramirez was prevalent in the southern regions of Spain, especially in Andalusia, during the medieval period.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname LOPEZRAMIREZ can be found in the Libro del Repartimiento de Sevilla, a 13th-century document that recorded the distribution of land and properties in the city of Seville after the Reconquista. The document mentions a certain Juan LOPEZRAMIREZ, who was granted land in the region.

Another notable figure with this surname was Pedro LOPEZRAMIREZ, a 15th-century Spanish scholar and humanist who taught at the University of Salamanca. He was born in Córdoba in 1430 and died in Salamanca in 1498.

In the 16th century, Francisco LOPEZRAMIREZ was a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru under the command of Francisco Pizarro. He was born in Extremadura around 1500 and died in Peru in the mid-16th century.
