The history of the last name Polocoser

The surname POLOCOSER has its origins in the Spanish region of Aragon, dating back to the 14th century. The name is believed to be derived from the old Spanish words "pollo" meaning chicken and "coser" meaning to sew, suggesting a connection to a profession or trade involving sewing or working with poultry.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name POLOCOSER can be found in the municipal records of the town of Zaragoza from 1372, where a certain Juan POLOCOSER is mentioned as a member of the local tailors' guild. This indicates that the name may have initially been associated with individuals involved in sewing or textile-related occupations.

In the 15th century, the name POLOCOSER appears in several documents from the region of Teruel, including a land deed from 1482 that bears the signature of a Pedro POLOCOSER. This suggests that the name had spread beyond its original location and was becoming more widespread in Aragon.

One notable figure in the history of the POLOCOSER name is María POLOCOSER, a skilled embroiderer who lived in the village of Alcañiz in the late 16th century. Her intricate needlework was highly sought after by the local nobility, and some of her pieces are still preserved in the Alcañiz Museum of Arts and Crafts.

In the 17th century, the POLOCOSER name appears to have spread beyond Aragon, with records indicating the presence of individuals bearing the surname in the neighboring regions of Catalonia and Valencia. One such individual was Juana POLOCOSER, a prominent businesswoman from Barcelona who established a successful textile trading company in the early 1600s.

Another noteworthy figure is Francisco POLOCOSER, a renowned poultry breeder who lived in the town of Segorbe in the late 18th century.
