The history of the last name Ticzon

The surname "TICZON" is believed to have originated in the region of Aragon, Spain during the late medieval period. It likely derives from the Aragonese word "tizon," meaning a burning or glowing piece of wood or charcoal. This suggests that the name may have been initially given to someone who worked with fire, such as a blacksmith or a charcoal burner.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the "Libro de Fuegos" (Book of Fires), a tax record from the Kingdom of Aragon compiled in the late 15th century. This document lists several individuals with the surname "Tizon" or variations thereof, indicating that the name was already well-established in the region by that time.

In the 16th century, a notable bearer of the name was Juan Ticzon, a renowned painter from the town of Calatayud, Aragon. He was known for his remarkable religious works, many of which adorned the churches and monasteries of the region. Juan Ticzon was born in 1525 and died in 1598.

As the Spanish Empire expanded across the globe, the name "TICZON" likely traveled with settlers and explorers to the Americas and other colonies. One such individual was Pedro Ticzon, a soldier and explorer who accompanied Hernán Cortés on his expedition to conquer Mexico in the early 16th century. Pedro Ticzon is said to have played a pivotal role in the decisive Battle of Otumba in 1520.

In the 18th century, the "TICZON" name appears in records from the Spanish colonial era in the Philippines. Maria Ticzon, born in 1732 in Manila, was a prominent figure in the city's social circles and was known for her philanthropic work and support of local churches and schools.

Another notable bearer of the name was Rodrigo Ticzon, a Spanish military officer who fought in the Napoleonic Wars in the early 19th century. Rodrigo Ticzon was born in 1784 in Zaragoza, Aragon, and rose through the ranks to become a respected commander, earning several honors for his bravery and leadership on the battlefield.

While the "TICZON" surname may have evolved over time and spread to various parts of the world, its roots can be traced back to the rich cultural and linguistic heritage of the Aragon region in Spain. The name's connection to fire and burning embers serves as a reminder of the historical occupations and crafts that shaped the lives of its earliest bearers.
