The history of the last name Tabarez

The surname Tabarez has its origins in Spain, specifically in the region of Galicia. It is believed to have emerged during the 12th or 13th century. The name is derived from the Galician word "tabarazo," which means "a type of thick, woolen cloth." This suggests that the name may have initially been associated with individuals involved in the textile industry or the production of this particular fabric.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Tabarez can be found in a 14th-century document from the city of Santiago de Compostela, where a certain Pedro Tabarez was mentioned as a landowner. This document serves as evidence of the presence of the name in Galicia during that time period.

In the 15th century, there are records of a family named Tabarez residing in the town of Betanzos, located in the province of A Coruña. This family was known for their involvement in local politics and held positions of influence within the community.

During the 16th century, the name Tabarez began to spread beyond the borders of Galicia. One notable figure was Juan Tabarez de Ulloa (1515-1591), a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru and served as a lieutenant under Francisco Pizarro.

Another prominent individual with the Tabarez surname was Gaspar Tabarez (1590-1653), a Jesuit missionary who traveled to Paraguay and played a significant role in the evangelization efforts among the indigenous populations of the region.

In the 18th century, a branch of the Tabarez family settled in the Spanish colonial territories of the Americas, particularly in Argentina. One member of this family, José Tabarez (1745-1818), became a respected landowner and rancher in the province of Buenos Aires.

Throughout the 19th century, the Tabarez surname continued to be present in various parts of Spain and its former colonies. For example, Manuel Tabarez (1825-1897) was a prominent politician and lawyer from Uruguay, who served as the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs.

In more recent times, one of the most well-known individuals with the Tabarez surname is Óscar Washington Tabárez (born 1947), a Uruguayan football coach who led the Uruguayan national team to success in the 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups.
