The name likely originated as a descriptive surname given to someone who sought divine retribution or vengeance in the name of God.

This surname first appeared in historical records from the region of Andalusia in southern Spain, particularly in the areas around Seville and Cordoba. These regions were heavily influenced by the Moorish culture during the period of Muslim rule in the Iberian Peninsula, and it is possible that the name has some Arabic influence or roots.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname "VERGELDEDIOS" can be found in the "Libro de Repartimiento de Sevilla", a manuscript from the 13th century that documented the distribution of land and property in Seville after the Christian conquest of the city in 1248. The name appears as "Vergel de Dios", which is a slightly different spelling.

In the 14th century, a notable figure named Juan Vergeldedios was a prominent merchant and landowner in the city of Cordoba. He is mentioned in several historical documents from that time period, including records of property transactions and trade agreements.

During the 15th century, the surname "VERGELDEDIOS" appeared in the records of the Spanish Inquisition, which suggests that some individuals bearing this name may have been targeted or persecuted for their religious beliefs or practices.

Another notable individual with this surname was Rodrigo Vergeldedios, a soldier who fought in the conquest of Granada in the late 15th century. He is mentioned in the chronicles of the Spanish conquest of the last Moorish stronghold in the Iberian Peninsula.

In the 16th century, a prominent artist and sculptor named Francisco Vergeldedios was active in the city of Seville. He is known for his religious sculptures and altarpieces, which can still be found in churches and museums in the region.
