One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Sausedo can be found in the "Libro de las Behetrías de Castilla," a 14th-century document that documented landholdings and feudal obligations in the Kingdom of Castile. This suggests that individuals bearing the Sausedo surname were present in the region during that time.

Another individual of note was María Sausedo, a nun who lived in the 17th century and was known for her philanthropic work in establishing shelters and orphanages in the city of Cádiz, Spain. Her efforts were recognized by the local authorities, and she was granted a small estate to support her charitable endeavors.

In the 18th century, the Sausedo surname appeared in records related to the Spanish colonization of the Americas. One such figure was Pedro Sausedo, a soldier and explorer who participated in expeditions to the region now known as Florida and the Gulf Coast of the United States.

During the 19th century, a prominent figure named Rafael Sausedo gained recognition as a renowned painter and artist in the city of Madrid, Spain.
