The history of the last name Reynado

The surname REYNADO is of Spanish origin and can be traced back to the medieval period in Spain. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish verb "reynar," which means "to reign" or "to rule." This suggests that the name may have been initially associated with royalty or someone who held a position of authority.

One of the earliest known records of the REYNADO surname can be found in the Catalan region of Spain, where it was documented in the 14th century. During this era, the name was often spelled as "Reynat" or "Reynado," reflecting the linguistic evolution of the Spanish language over time.

In the 15th century, the REYNADO name gained prominence when it was associated with a noble family from the city of Valencia. Historical documents mention a prominent figure named Juan REYNADO, who served as a high-ranking military officer during the reign of King Ferdinand II of Aragon in the late 15th century.

The REYNADO surname also holds significance in literature, as it was mentioned in the famous Spanish novel "Don Quixote" by Miguel de Cervantes, published in the early 17th century. The character Alonso REYNADO was depicted as a wealthy landowner in the story, further solidifying the connection between the name and nobility.

As the Spanish Empire expanded across the Americas, the REYNADO surname traveled with the conquistadors and settlers. One notable example is Pedro REYNADO, a conquistador born in Seville in 1520, who accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expedition to conquer Mexico. Pedro REYNADO later became a prominent figure in the administration of New Spain (present-day Mexico).

Another influential figure bearing the REYNADO surname was Catalina REYNADO, a 17th-century writer and poet from Seville, Spain. Her collection of poems, published in 1658, gained critical acclaim and contributed to the literary culture of the Golden Age of Spanish literature.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the REYNADO surname continued to be found in various regions of Spain, as well as in Spanish colonies in the Americas. Several prominent families carried this name, including the REYNADO family from Andalusia, which produced several notable military officers and politicians during this period.
