The history of the last name Remache

The surname REMACHE has its origins in Spain, with the earliest records dating back to the 15th century. The name is believed to have derived from the Spanish word "remachar," which means "to rivet" or "to clinch." This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with occupations related to metalworking or blacksmithing.

In the early 16th century, the name REMACHE appeared in various historical documents and records from the regions of Castile and Andalusia in Spain. One notable mention is found in the archives of the Archivo General de Indias in Seville, where a certain Juan Remache is listed as a sailor who embarked on a voyage to the New World in 1532.

The REMACHE surname can also be traced back to the town of Remacha, located in the province of Burgos, in northern Spain. It is possible that the name originated from this place name, which itself may have been derived from the word "remachar" or related to metalworking activities in the area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname REMACHE can be found in the baptismal records of the Church of San Juan in the city of Seville, where a child named Pedro Remache was baptized in 1563.

During the 17th century, the REMACHE surname gained prominence in Spain, and several individuals with this name held positions of importance. For example, Alonso Remache was a renowned architect who worked on the construction of the Convent of Santa María de Jesús in Seville between 1620 and 1634. Additionally, Francisca Remache, born in 1671 in Granada, was a respected poet and writer whose works were widely acclaimed during her lifetime.

As the Spanish Empire expanded, the REMACHE surname also found its way to the Americas. In the late 18th century, a man named Manuel Remache was a prominent landowner and farmer in the region of Quito, Ecuador. His descendants continued to carry the REMACHE name, contributing to the spread of the surname in Latin America.
