Historical records suggest that the earliest known instances of the SEVIDAL surname can be traced back to the 1480s in the province of Seville. One of the earliest documented individuals bearing this name was Juan de SEVIDAL, a merchant who lived in the city of Seville in the late 15th century.

The SEVIDAL name has also been associated with several notable figures throughout history.

In the 18th century, Francisca SEVIDAL (1723-1801) was a prominent Spanish writer and poet whose works focused on themes of love, nature, and the human condition. Her collection of poems, "Versos del Corazón," was widely acclaimed and influenced many subsequent poets in Spain.
