One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name Ogeda can be found in the Cartulary of San Millán de la Cogolla, a medieval manuscript from the Basque region, dated around 1025 AD.

In the 13th century, a notable individual named Juan de Ogeda was a prominent merchant and landowner in the town of Vitoria-Gasteiz, located in the Basque province of Álava. Records from this time period indicate that the Ogeda family held significant influence and wealth in the region.

During the 15th century, the name Ogeda appeared in the Archivo General de Simancas, a collection of historical documents from the Crown of Castile.
