The history of the last name Sueda

The surname SUEDA has its origins in Spain, tracing back to the 14th century. It is believed to be derived from the Spanish word "sueda," which means "swamp" or "marsh." This suggests that the name may have originated from a geographic location or settlement near a swampy area.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the SUEDA surname can be found in the archives of the Kingdom of Aragon, where it appears in a document dated 1379. This document refers to a landowner named Juan de Sueda, who held property in the region of Valencia.

During the 16th century, the SUEDA surname gained prominence in the region of Andalusia, particularly in the city of Seville. Records from this period indicate that several prominent families bearing the SUEDA name were involved in trade and commerce within the city.

In the late 17th century, a notable figure named Diego de Sueda (1648-1717) was a respected scholar and theologian. He authored several works on religious philosophy and served as a professor at the University of Salamanca.

Another individual of note was María Sueda (1782-1856), a renowned painter from Madrid. Her works, primarily portraits and landscapes, were widely acclaimed and can be found in several art collections across Spain.

During the 19th century, the SUEDA surname spread to other parts of Europe and the Americas due to Spanish migration and exploration. One such individual was Javier Sueda (1819-1892), a Spanish explorer who accompanied expeditions to South America and documented his travels in a series of journals.

In the early 20th century, José Sueda (1901-1978) was a prominent politician and diplomat from Barcelona. He served as a member of the Spanish Parliament and later as Spain's ambassador to several countries, including France and Italy.

It is worth noting that while the SUEDA surname has its roots in Spain, it has also been adopted and adapted in various other cultures and regions over time, potentially leading to slight variations in spelling or pronunciation.
