The history of the last name Manqueros

The surname Manqueros is of Spanish origin, tracing its roots back to the 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of Andalusia, particularly in the provinces of Seville and Cadiz. The name is derived from the Spanish word "manco," which means "one-armed" or "disabled," suggesting that it may have originally been a descriptive surname given to someone with a physical disability or impairment.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Manqueros can be found in the church records of Seville, dating back to the late 1500s. It is mentioned in a baptismal record from 1587, where a child named Juan Manqueros was baptized in the parish of Santa Cruz.

During the 17th century, the Manqueros name appeared in various historical documents related to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. In 1632, a man named Pedro Manqueros was listed as a resident of Havana, Cuba, in a census conducted by the Spanish authorities.

In the 18th century, the Manqueros family seems to have established a presence in the region of Extremadura, Spain. A notable figure from this period was Diego Manqueros (1712-1789), a successful merchant and landowner from the town of Villanueva de la Serena.

As the centuries progressed, the Manqueros name spread to other parts of Spain and beyond. In the 19th century, a prominent member of the family was Javier Manqueros (1821-1892), a respected lawyer and political figure from Madrid. He served as a member of the Spanish parliament and was known for his advocacy of civil liberties and democratic reforms.

Another notable individual with the Manqueros surname was Mariana Manqueros (1876-1954), a pioneering educator from Seville. She founded one of the first schools for girls in the region and was recognized for her efforts in promoting women's education.
