The history of the last name Vicentelopez

The surname VICENTELOPEZ is a double-barreled Spanish surname originating in the Iberian Peninsula during the medieval era. It is a combination of the given name Vicente and the patronymic surname Lopez.

Vicente is derived from the Latin name Vincentius, meaning "conquering" or "victorious". It was a relatively common name among early Christians, particularly in Spain and Portugal. Lopez, on the other hand, is a patronymic surname derived from the given name Lope, which is a Spanish form of the Germanic name Lupus, meaning "wolf".

One of the earliest known bearers of the VICENTELOPEZ surname was Don Vicente Lopez de Mendoza, a 15th-century Spanish nobleman and poet who served as a diplomat and courtier to King Juan II of Castile. He was born in Ita, near Guadalajara, in 1398 and died in Guadalajara in 1464.

In the 16th century, a VICENTELOPEZ appeared in the Catálogo de Pasajeros a Indias, a historical record of Spanish immigrants to the Americas. This individual, named Vicente Lopez de Velasco, departed from Seville in 1534 and settled in the Spanish colonies of the New World.

Another notable figure with the VICENTELOPEZ surname was Vicente Lopez y Portaña, a Spanish painter and engraver born in Valencia in 1772. He is renowned for his portraits of Spanish royalty and nobility, including King Ferdinand VII and Queen Maria Christina of Bourbon-Two Sicilies. Lopez y Portaña died in Madrid in 1850.

In the 19th century, Vicente Lopez Cuadras, a Spanish military officer and politician, played a significant role in the Carlist Wars, a series of civil wars fought in Spain over the issue of succession to the throne. He was born in Mora de Rubielos, Teruel, in 1819 and died in Barcelona in 1888.

Moving into the 20th century, Vicente Lopez Carril, a Spanish lawyer and politician, served as the Minister of Public Works during the Second Spanish Republic. He was born in Villafranca del Bierzo, Leon, in 1890 and died in Mexico City in 1978, where he had fled after the Spanish Civil War.
