The history of the last name Reado

The surname READO originated in the Spanish region of Andalusia during the late 15th century. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish word "reado," which means "reddish" or "ruddy-complexioned." This suggests that the name was likely given as a descriptive nickname to someone with a reddish complexion or red hair.

The earliest known record of the READO surname can be found in the archives of the city of Seville, dating back to 1492. In these records, a certain Juan READO is mentioned as a landowner and member of the local nobility. It is possible that the name was initially associated with this particular family or lineage.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the READO name spread to other parts of Spain, as well as to the Spanish colonies in the Americas. Notable bearers of the READO surname include Sebastián READO (c. 1520-1589), a renowned theologian and professor at the University of Salamanca, and Juana READO (1567-1638), a celebrated poet and member of the literary circle of Lope de Vega.

In the late 17th century, a branch of the READO family migrated to the Spanish colonies in the Caribbean, where they established themselves as plantation owners and merchants. One prominent figure from this era was Antonio READO (1642-1712), a wealthy landowner and governor of Puerto Rico from 1698 to 1704.

As the Spanish Empire expanded, the READO surname also found its way to other parts of the Americas, including Mexico and parts of South America. In the 19th century, a notable bearer of the name was General Ignacio READO (1789-1865), a Mexican military leader who fought in the Mexican-American War and later served as the governor of the state of Jalisco.

Throughout its history, the READO surname has maintained a strong presence in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Spain and Latin America. While its origins can be traced back to the late medieval period in Andalusia, the name has since spread across continents and has been associated with individuals from various walks of life, ranging from academics and artists to military leaders and politicians.
