The history of the last name Sánchez Ramos

The surname SANCHEZRAMOS is of Spanish origin, originating from the Iberian Peninsula during the medieval period. The name is a combination of two distinct surnames, Sanchez and Ramos, both of which have their own etymological roots.

The first part of the name, Sanchez, is a patronymic surname derived from the Spanish personal name Sancho. Sancho itself is a diminutive form of the name Sancius, which was a Latinized version of the Germanic name Sanctius or Sanctus. This name was popular among the Visigoths, an ancient Germanic people who ruled parts of the Iberian Peninsula from the 5th to the 8th centuries.

The second part, Ramos, is a topographic surname referring to a person who lived near a branch or bush. It comes from the Spanish word "ramo," meaning "branch" or "bough," which in turn derives from the Latin word "ramus."

Historical records indicate that both Sanchez and Ramos were fairly common surnames in Spain by the 13th century. One of the earliest documented references to the combined surname SANCHEZRAMOS dates back to the 15th century, when it appeared in a municipal register from the city of Seville.
