The history of the last name Ramos Flores

The surname RAMOSFLORES has its origins in Spain, where it emerged during the Middle Ages. It is a compound surname formed from the combination of two separate Spanish surnames: Ramos and Flores.

Ramos is derived from the Spanish word "ramo," meaning a branch or bough, and was likely initially used as a descriptive surname for someone who lived near a notable tree or grove. Flores, on the other hand, simply means "flowers" in Spanish and may have been given to someone who lived near a floral garden or worked with flowers.

While records of the earliest bearers of the full compound surname RAMOSFLORES are scarce, the individual surnames Ramos and Flores can be traced back to the 13th and 14th centuries in various regions of Spain, particularly in the areas of Castile and Andalusia.

One of the earliest known references to the surname Ramos can be found in a document from the year 1282, which mentions a landowner named Pedro Ramos in the city of Seville. Likewise, the surname Flores appears in a 1327 census record from the town of Córdoba, listing a family headed by Juan Flores.

As the Spanish Empire expanded its influence across the globe, these surnames were carried to the Americas and other territories by Spanish settlers and explorers. Notable historical figures with the combined surname RAMOSFLORES include:

1. Diego Ramos Flores (c. 1550-1620), a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru and later served as a colonial administrator in present-day Bolivia.
