The history of the last name Talancón

The surname Talancon has its origins in Spain, dating back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Basque language, with the root words "tala" meaning "slope" or "hillside," and "kon" meaning "place" or "settlement." This suggests that the name may have originated from a specific location or region in the Basque Country, where a settlement was situated on a slope or hillside.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Talancon can be found in the Cartulario de San Millán de la Cogolla, a medieval cartulary from the La Rioja region of Spain, which dates back to the 13th century. This document mentions a certain Gonzalo Talancon, who was a landowner in the area.

In the 14th century, the name appears in the Becerro de las Behetrías, an important census document from the reign of King Pedro I of Castile. This record lists several individuals with the surname Talancon, indicating that the name had spread beyond its original Basque roots and become established in other parts of northern Spain.

During the 15th century, the name Talancon is found in various historical records from the Kingdom of Aragon, suggesting that members of this family had migrated to the eastern regions of the Iberian Peninsula. One notable figure from this period was Juan Talancon, a merchant and landowner in the city of Zaragoza, who lived from around 1420 to 1492.

In the 16th century, the Talancon surname gained prominence in the Basque Country, with several individuals holding positions of authority and influence. One such person was Pedro Talancon (1525-1597), who served as the mayor of the town of Vitoria-Gasteiz in the latter part of the century.

Another notable figure from this period was Catalina Talancon (1550-1624), a wealthy landowner and benefactor in the town of Bilbao. She was known for her charitable contributions and support for religious institutions in the region.

As the centuries progressed, the Talancon surname continued to be found throughout Spain, with various branches of the family establishing themselves in different regions.
