The history of the last name Noveron

The surname Noveron has its origins in the Iberian Peninsula, specifically in the Basque region of northern Spain and southwestern France, during the late medieval period. It is derived from the Basque word "nobe," meaning "new," and "erron," meaning "place" or "settlement." The name likely referred to someone who established a new homestead or settled in a newly developed area.

One of the earliest documented references to the name can be found in the archives of the town of Bayonne, France, dating back to the 14th century. Records show a certain Sancho Noveron, a landowner and merchant, who lived in the area around 1375. Another early mention is in the Cartulary of the Monastery of Roncesvalles, Spain, which lists a Pedro Noveron as a benefactor in the year 1412.

During the 15th century, the Noveron family appears to have been prominent in the region of Navarre, straddling the modern-day border between Spain and France. A notable figure from this era was Juan Noveron (c. 1430-1498), a nobleman and military commander who fought in the Reconquista against the Moors and later served as a diplomat for the Spanish Crown.

The name Noveron can also be traced to the town of Noberroa in Navarre, which was likely named after an early settler or founder with the surname. This place name is first mentioned in documents from the 13th century, and it is possible that the Noveron family originated from this location.

In the 16th century, the Noveron surname spread to other parts of Spain and Europe as a result of migration and trade. One notable individual from this period was Domingo Noveron (c. 1520-1585), a Spanish explorer and navigator who participated in expeditions to the Americas and the Pacific Ocean.

Another significant figure was Isabel Noveron (c. 1560-1635), a renowned painter and artist from Seville, Spain, who was known for her religious works and portraiture. Her paintings can still be found in various churches and museums across Andalusia.

As the surname Noveron continued to spread, it also appeared in other parts of the world, including the Americas and the Philippines, due to Spanish colonization and exploration. In the 18th century, a Gaspar Noveron (1695-1762) was a prominent merchant and landowner in the Spanish colony of Cuba.
