The history of the last name Susbilla

The surname SUSBILLA originated in the Spanish region of Andalusia during the late 15th century. It is believed to be derived from the Arabic name "Susbayl," which referred to a small town in the province of Seville. This town's name is thought to have originated from the Latin phrase "Sub Oppidum Bellum," meaning "under the beautiful town."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the SUSBILLA surname appears in the town records of Seville from the year 1492. These records mention a family by the name of Susbayl, which was likely the original spelling before it was later Hispanicized to SUSBILLA. It is possible that this family was among those who converted from Islam to Christianity during the Reconquista, leading to the adaptation of their name to a more Spanish form.

In the 16th century, several members of the SUSBILLA family were documented as landowners and merchants in the town of Écija, located in the Seville province. One notable individual from this period was Diego SUSBILLA, a wealthy olive oil trader born in 1534 who was known for his philanthropic contributions to local churches and charitable organizations.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the SUSBILLA name spread throughout the regions of Andalusia and Extremadura, with various branches of the family establishing themselves in cities such as Córdoba, Cádiz, and Badajoz. In 1712, a military officer named Juan SUSBILLA was recorded as a participant in the Siege of Cádiz during the War of the Spanish Succession.

As the Spanish Empire expanded into the Americas, some members of the SUSBILLA family emigrated to the New World. In 1783, a man named Francisco SUSBILLA was documented as one of the founders of the town of San Antonio de Areco in present-day Argentina. Another notable figure was María SUSBILLA, born in 1806 in Havana, Cuba, who was a renowned poet and writer during the island's colonial period.

Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the SUSBILLA surname continued to appear across Spain and its former colonies, with various individuals achieving recognition in fields such as politics, academia, and the arts. One prominent example was the Spanish painter and sculptor José SUSBILLA (1872-1949), whose works are part of several art collections in Spain and Latin America.
