The name Trasvina can be traced back to the regions of Castile and Aragon in Spain, where it was first recorded in medieval documents and records. In the 13th century, a variation of the spelling "Trasvinas" appeared in a census record from the town of Burgos, indicating the presence of this surname in the area.

One of the earliest known mentions of the Trasvina name can be found in the "Becerro de las Behetrías" (Book of Behetrias), a historical document from the 14th century that listed landowners and their properties in the regions of Castile and León. This suggests that members of the Trasvina family may have been landowners or noblemen during that time period.
