The history of the last name Sagadraca

The surname SAGADRACA has its roots in the ancient region of Iberia, specifically the area now known as Catalonia in northeastern Spain. It is believed to have originated during the medieval period, around the 10th or 11th century.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name SAGADRACA can be found in the "Llibre de Repartiment" (Book of Distribution), a historical document from the 13th century detailing the distribution of lands and properties in the newly conquered territories of Valencia after the Reconquista. This suggests that the name may have been associated with families who participated in the Reconquista, the centuries-long struggle to reclaim the Iberian Peninsula from Moorish rule.

The name SAGADRACA is thought to be derived from the Catalan words "saga" (meaning saga or narrative) and "draca" (meaning dragon), possibly indicating a connection to tales or legends involving dragons or mythical beasts. It could also be related to the place name "Sagadrac," a small village in the region of Alt Urgell, Catalonia.

In the 14th century, records show a nobleman named Bernat de SAGADRACA, who served as a knight in the court of King Pere III of Aragon (1319-1387). Another notable figure was Arnau de SAGADRACA, a Catalan poet and troubadour from the 15th century, renowned for his lyrical compositions in the Occitan language.

During the 16th century, a prominent family bearing the SAGADRACA name settled in the town of Tortosa, near the Ebro River delta. One of their descendants, Francesc de SAGADRACA (1528-1602), was a respected jurist and author of several legal treatises on Catalan law and customs.

In the 17th century, a branch of the SAGADRACA family migrated to the island of Mallorca, where they established themselves as landowners and olive oil producers. Jaume SAGADRACA (1642-1718) was a well-known figure in Mallorcan society and served as a councilman in the city of Palma.

As the SAGADRACA name spread throughout the Iberian Peninsula and beyond, it underwent various spelling variations, such as Sagradaca, Sagredaca, and Sagradeca, reflecting regional linguistic differences and scribal conventions of the time.
