The history of the last name Traslaviña

The surname Traslavina has its origins tracing back to the Iberian Peninsula, specifically the region of Galicia in northwestern Spain during the medieval period. It is believed to have derived from a Galician-Portuguese place name or toponym, potentially linked to the village of Traslavina located near the city of Ourense.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname can be found in the "Tombo de Sobrado," a medieval cartulary from the Sobrado dos Monxes monastery, dating back to the 12th century. This document mentions individuals with the surname Traslavina, indicating their presence in the region during that time.

In the 14th century, historical records show a certain Fernán Traslavina, who held a prominent position as a scribe and notary in the court of King Alfonso XI of Castile (1311-1350). His service to the monarchy suggests that the Traslavina family had attained a degree of social standing during that era.

Moving forward to the 16th century, there is a reference to a Pedro Traslavina, a scholar and humanist born in Galicia around 1490. He gained recognition for his contributions to classical literature and his translations of ancient Greek texts into Spanish.

During the colonial era, the Traslavina surname also found its way to the Americas. One notable figure was Juan Traslavina, a Spanish explorer and conquistador who participated in the expeditions to the New World in the early 16th century, accompanying renowned conquistadors such as Hernán Cortés and Francisco Pizarro.

Another individual of historical significance was María Traslavina, a wealthy landowner and philanthropist born in Galicia in the late 17th century. She was known for her charitable works and her patronage of various religious institutions in the region.

Over the centuries, the Traslavina surname has maintained a presence in various parts of Spain, particularly in Galicia, but also in other regions such as Asturias and Castile.
