The history of the last name Ramos Morales

The surname RAMOSMORALES is of Spanish origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period in the Iberian Peninsula. It is a compound surname, formed by the combination of two distinct elements: "Ramos" and "Morales."

The first component, "Ramos," is derived from the Spanish word "ramo," meaning "branch" or "bough." This surname likely originated as a descriptive nickname referring to an individual's occupation or physical appearance, perhaps someone who worked with branches or had a slender, branch-like physique.

The second element, "Morales," is a locational surname that originates from various places in Spain bearing the name "Morales," which translates to "mulberry trees." This component suggests that the surname may have been adopted by someone hailing from one of these locations, potentially indicating their place of origin or residence.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the RAMOSMORALES surname can be found in the Catastro de Ensenada, a comprehensive census and survey conducted in Spain during the mid-18th century. This record mentions several individuals bearing this surname, including Juan Ramos Morales, a landowner from the province of Andalusia.
