The history of the last name Ramírez-Gonzále

The surname RAMIREZGONZALE has its origins in Spain, with the name being a combination of two distinct surnames – Ramirez and Gonzale. The earliest records of the surname date back to the 12th century.

Ramirez is a patronymic surname derived from the given name Ramiro, which is of Germanic origin and means "renowned adviser" or "famous counselor." It was a popular name among the Spanish nobility during the Middle Ages. The surname Gonzale, on the other hand, is also a patronymic derived from the given name Gonzalo, a Spanish variant of the Germanic name Gundisalvus, meaning "battle fighter."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Ramirez can be found in the Becerro de Behetrías, a medieval census document from the 14th century, which mentions a certain Ruy Ramirez de Arellano, a nobleman who held lands in the region of Castile.

In the 15th century, a famous bearer of the Ramirez surname was Pedro Ramirez de Arellano, a Spanish military commander who played a crucial role in the Reconquista, the Christian conquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Moors. He was born in 1420 and died in 1488.

Another notable figure with the surname Ramirez was Miguel Ramirez de Prado, a Spanish explorer and conquistador who accompanied Hernán Cortés in the conquest of Mexico in the 16th century. He was born around 1490 and died in 1540.

In the 17th century, Francisco Ramirez de Madrid was a prominent Spanish architect who designed several churches and buildings in Madrid and its surrounding areas. He lived from 1620 to 1685.

A famous bearer of the Gonzale surname was Gonzalo Fernández de Córdoba, a Spanish military leader and nobleman known as "El Gran Capitán" (The Great Captain) for his brilliant military tactics during the Italian Wars of the late 15th and early 16th centuries. He was born in 1453 and died in 1515.

The combination of the two surnames, RAMIREZGONZALE, is believed to have emerged in the 16th or 17th century, possibly through marriage between families bearing the respective surnames. Over time, it became a distinct surname carried by various individuals throughout Spanish history.
