The history of the last name Salicrup

The surname SALICRUP has its origins in the Catalonia region of northeastern Spain. It is believed to have emerged sometime in the late 15th or early 16th century, possibly derived from the Catalan words "salicru" meaning "willow cross" or "salicorn" meaning "salt marsh plant."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in a municipal register from the town of Tortosa, Catalonia, dated 1528, which references a certain Jaume Salicrup. This document suggests that the name was already in use by that time among the local population.

In the 17th century, records indicate that members of the Salicrup family had established themselves in the neighboring region of Valencia. A baptismal record from the parish church of Alicante, dated 1671, mentions the birth of Margarida Salicrup, daughter of Antoni Salicrup and Maria Salcedo.

As the centuries passed, the Salicrup name spread to other parts of Spain and, eventually, to the Americas. One notable bearer of the name was Francesc Salicrup (1786-1862), a Catalan merchant and philanthropist who made significant contributions to the city of Barcelona.

In the 19th century, the name found its way to Cuba, where a prominent figure, José María Salicrup y Puig (1825-1893), was born in Havana. He went on to become a respected lawyer and politician, serving as a deputy in the Spanish Cortes.

Another illustrious individual with the Salicrup surname was Enrique Salicrup y Puig (1858-1932), a Cuban-born painter and academic who studied in Paris and later became a professor at the San Alejandro Academy of Fine Arts in Havana.
