The surname Rimando is believed to have originated in Italy, specifically in the region of Sicily during the medieval period. It is derived from the Italian word 'rimando,' which means 'to send back' or 'to return.' This suggests that the name may have been initially given as a descriptive surname to an individual whose occupation involved sending or returning goods or messages.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Rimando can be found in the archives of the city of Palermo, Sicily, dating back to the 14th century. In these records, a merchant named Giovanni Rimando is mentioned, suggesting that the name was already well-established in the region during that time.

In the 17th century, the Rimando family established a presence in Spain, where the name underwent slight variations in spelling, such as Remando or Rimondo. One of the earliest documented individuals with this surname in Spain was Diego Rimando, who served as a military captain during the Thirty Years' War (1618-1648).

As trade and exploration expanded, the Rimando surname also found its way to the Americas. In the late 18th century, a Portuguese explorer named Joao Rimando was among the first Europeans to map and document parts of the Amazon rainforest in Brazil.
