The history of the last name Sariol

The surname Sariol has its origins in Spain, tracing back to the early Middle Ages around the 10th century. It is believed to have derived from the Spanish word "sari," which means "reed," suggesting a connection to reeds or a place where reeds grew abundantly. This name may have initially been a descriptive surname or a toponymic name referring to a location rich in reeds.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Sariol surname can be found in the Catalonian region of Spain. In the late 12th century, a document from the Monastery of Sant Cugat del Vallès mentioned a certain "Petrus de Sariolo," indicating the presence of this surname in the area.

During the 13th century, the Sariol family name appeared in various records from the Kingdom of Aragon. A notable figure was Berenguer Sariol, a landowner and nobleman who lived in the town of Lleida in the 1240s. His name was documented in legal documents and property transactions of that era.

In the 14th century, the Sariol surname gained prominence in the city of Barcelona. A merchant named Pere Sariol was involved in the textile trade and served as a member of the city council in the 1360s. His business dealings extended across the Mediterranean region, and his name was recorded in commercial records of the time.

The 15th century saw the spread of the Sariol surname to other parts of Spain. One documented instance was Juan Sariol, a soldier from Andalusia who participated in the Reconquista campaigns against the Moors in the 1480s. His military exploits were chronicled in historical accounts of the period.

As the Sariol family expanded over the centuries, various spelling variations emerged, such as Sariol, Sariol, Sariol, and Sariol. These variations were influenced by regional dialects and scribal errors in historical records.
