The history of the last name Trevizo

The surname Trevizo originates from Spain and can be traced back to the 12th century. It is derived from the Spanish word "trevizo," which means "from Treviso," a city located in the Veneto region of northern Italy. This suggests that the name may have been adopted by individuals who migrated from Treviso to Spain during the medieval period.

One of the earliest recorded references to the surname Trevizo can be found in the Libro de las Behetrias, a 14th-century census document from the reign of King Pedro I of Castile. This manuscript listed individuals and their land holdings, providing valuable insights into the distribution of surnames across different regions of Spain.

In the 15th century, a notable figure named Juan de Trevizo (c. 1420-1498) gained prominence as a renowned architect and sculptor. He is credited with designing several significant architectural works, including the Royal Chapel in the Convent of San Juan de los Reyes in Toledo.

During the 16th century, the Trevizo surname began to spread across the Spanish territories in the Americas. One prominent individual was Diego de Trevizo (c. 1530-1598), a Spanish conquistador who participated in the conquest of Peru and later became a wealthy landowner in the region.

In the 17th century, a notable figure named María de Trevizo (1625-1692) achieved recognition as a skilled painter and portrait artist. Her works were highly sought after by the Spanish nobility and can still be found in several museums and private collections.

Another significant individual bearing the Trevizo surname was Antonio de Trevizo (1680-1745), a military commander who played a crucial role in the Spanish colonization efforts in the Philippines. He served as the Governor-General of the Philippine Islands from 1738 to 1742.

Throughout history, variations of the surname Trevizo have emerged, such as Treviño, Treviso, and Trevizano, reflecting the influence of regional dialects and spelling conventions.
