The history of the last name Querubín

The surname QUERUBIN is of Spanish origin and can be traced back to the medieval period in Spain. It is derived from the Spanish word "querubín," which itself comes from the Hebrew word "kerubim," meaning "cherub" or "angelic being." This suggests that the name may have been given to families who lived near churches or monasteries dedicated to angels or cherubim.

One of the earliest recorded references to the QUERUBIN surname is found in the "Libro de la Montería" (Book of the Hunt), a 14th-century manuscript that lists huntsmen and their families in the service of King Alfonso XI of Castile. This document mentions a certain "Juan Querubin" who hailed from the town of Villafranca de Montes de Oca in the province of Burgos.

In the 16th century, the QUERUBIN name appears in various records from the region of Andalusia, particularly in the city of Seville. A notable figure was Hernando de Querubin, a wealthy merchant and landowner who lived in Seville between 1520 and 1587. He is mentioned in several legal documents and property records from that time.

During the Spanish colonial period, the QUERUBIN surname made its way to the Americas, where it can be found in various historical records from Mexico, Peru, and other Spanish territories. One example is Gaspar de Querubin, a soldier and explorer who participated in the conquest of Peru alongside Francisco Pizarro in the 1530s.

In the 17th century, a branch of the QUERUBIN family settled in the Philippines, which was then a Spanish colony. A prominent member was Diego de Querubin, a Jesuit missionary who arrived in the Philippines in 1635 and worked to establish schools and churches in various parts of the archipelago.

Another notable figure was María de Querubin, a Spanish nun and mystic who lived in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. She is known for her writings on spirituality and her efforts to reform religious life in her convent.

While the QUERUBIN surname is not as common today as it once was, it continues to be found in various Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Spain and Latin America, where it has been a part of the historical record for centuries.
