The history of the last name Suris

The surname "SURIS" is believed to have originated in Spain, specifically in the region of Catalonia, during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Catalan word "suro," which means "cork." This suggests that the name may have been associated with individuals involved in the cork industry or related trades.

One of the earliest known references to the surname "SURIS" can be found in the manuscript "Llibre del Repartiment," which documents the distribution of lands and properties in the Kingdom of Valencia after the Reconquista in the 13th century. This record mentions several individuals bearing the name "SURIS," indicating their presence in the region at that time.

As the name spread throughout Spain, it evolved into various spellings and variations, such as "Sures," "Surís," and "Surís." These variations likely arose due to regional dialects, scribal errors, or the influence of other languages.

In the 16th century, a notable figure with the surname "SURIS" was Jerónimo Suris (c. 1520-1595), a Spanish soldier and military engineer who served under King Philip II. He played a significant role in the construction of fortifications and defensive works during the Spanish conquest of the Netherlands.

Another noteworthy individual with this surname was Miguel Surís (1582-1666), a Spanish painter and engraver who was active in Madrid during the Golden Age of Spanish art. His works included religious paintings and engravings, some of which can be found in churches and museums across Spain.

In the 18th century, José Surís (1710-1778) was a Spanish architect and urban planner who designed several notable buildings and urban projects in Madrid and other cities. His contributions helped shape the architectural landscape of Spain during that era.

Moving into the 19th century, Antonio Surís (1825-1892) was a Spanish politician and writer who served as a member of the Cortes Generales (Spanish parliament) and published several works on political and social issues.

A more contemporary figure with the surname "SURIS" was Juan Manuel Surís (1915-1997), a renowned Spanish painter and sculptor known for his abstract and surrealist works. His artwork has been exhibited in galleries and museums across Spain and internationally.

While the surname "SURIS" has its roots in Spain, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly in regions with historical Spanish influence or migration. However, the earliest and most significant historical references to this surname can be traced back to its origins in the Iberian Peninsula.
