The name VAZQUEZVAZQUEZ is a patronymic surname, derived from the personal name Vasco or Vázquez, which itself is thought to have originated from the Basque word "bask," meaning "people." This suggests that the name may have been initially borne by individuals with Basque ancestry or connections.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name VAZQUEZVAZQUEZ can be found in the "Libro de las Behetrías" (Book of Lordships), a medieval Spanish manuscript dating back to the 14th century.

As the centuries progressed, the VAZQUEZVAZQUEZ surname spread to other parts of the Spanish-speaking world, including Latin America, due to the colonial expansion of the Spanish Empire.
