The history of the last name Queipo

The surname "QUEIPO" is of Spanish origin, and its earliest known records date back to the 12th century in the region of Castile, central Spain. The name is believed to be derived from the Latin word "cuipa," meaning "fault" or "blame," which later evolved into the Spanish word "culpa" with the same meaning.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname "QUEIPO" can be found in a document from the year 1195, which mentions a certain "Pedro Queipo" as a landowner in the city of Valladolid. This suggests that the name was already established among the nobility or landed gentry of the region at that time.

In the 13th century, there are records of a prominent figure named "Gonzalo Queipo de Llano" who participated in the Reconquista, the campaign to drive the Moors out of the Iberian Peninsula. He is mentioned in several historical chronicles for his bravery and military exploits during this period.

Another notable bearer of the surname "QUEIPO" was "Juan Queipo de Llano y Valdés," a 16th-century Spanish nobleman and diplomat who served as the Spanish ambassador to the court of Queen Elizabeth I of England in the late 1500s.

During the 17th century, the "QUEIPO" surname gained further recognition with "Pedro Queipo de Llano y Valdés," who was appointed as the Viceroy of New Spain (present-day Mexico) in 1635. He played a significant role in the governance and administration of the Spanish colonies in the Americas.

In the 19th century, "Juan Queipo de Llano," a Spanish military officer and politician, gained notoriety for his role in the Carlist Wars, a series of civil wars fought in Spain over the issue of succession to the throne. He was a staunch supporter of the Carlist cause and fought fiercely against the liberal forces.

It is worth noting that variations of the surname, such as "Queipo de Llano" and "Queipo y Llano," were often used by members of the Spanish nobility to denote their association with specific regions or estates, a common practice among the aristocracy during that time.
