The history of the last name Resinos

The surname Resinos has its origins in the Spanish language and can be traced back to the regions of Spain and Portugal. It is believed to have derived from the Latin word "resina," which means resin, referring to the sticky plant sap that was widely used in various industries during ancient times.

One of the earliest known records of the name Resinos can be found in the medieval Catalan documents from the 13th century, where it was written as "Resinos" or "Rezinos." This suggests that the name may have originated in the northeastern regions of Spain, particularly in Catalonia, before spreading to other parts of the country.

In the 15th century, the name Resinos was documented in the census records of the city of Seville, located in southern Spain. This indicates that the name had already gained a significant presence in different parts of the Iberian Peninsula by that time.

During the 16th and 17th centuries, the Resinos surname was associated with several notable individuals. One such person was Juan Resinos, a Spanish painter born in 1580 in Seville, who gained recognition for his religious artworks and portraits. Another prominent figure was Pedro Resinos, a Spanish architect and military engineer who lived from 1625 to 1694 and was known for his fortification designs in various Spanish cities.

In the 18th century, the Resinos surname appeared in historical records related to the Spanish colonial territories in the Americas. For instance, José Resinos was a Spanish soldier and explorer who participated in the expeditions to the present-day southwestern United States and Mexico in the late 1700s.

As the centuries passed, the Resinos surname continued to spread across Spain and its former colonies. In the 19th century, Manuel Resinos (1805-1878) was a prominent Spanish lawyer and politician who served as a deputy in the Spanish parliament.

Another notable figure with the Resinos surname was Antonio Resinos y Tolosana (1829-1896), a Spanish military officer and politician who fought in several wars and later became a senator in the Spanish parliament.

While the Resinos surname is primarily associated with Spain and its historical territories, it has also been found in other parts of the world due to migration and the diaspora of Spanish-speaking communities. However, the majority of historical records and notable individuals bearing this surname can be traced back to the Iberian Peninsula and its cultural and linguistic influences.
