Meaning of the surname Castillo

Castillo surname: Meaning and Etymology

Various spellings such as Castilla, Castillo, Castela, Castille, Castiglioni, Castiglione, Castillion, among others, are recorded as a local or regional family name that originates from the former independent Kingdom of Castile, which is now a province within Spain. Strangely enough, the name was originally French, deriving from the Provençal "castel" (a castle) from before the 10th century and "vieil," meaning old, the old castle. "Castile" was an area that was continuously occupied since Roman times, through the Visigoths, the Franks, and later the Moors.

As a result, the region was full of castles, which is reflected in the province's name. It is not surprising that the surname was an early entrant into the New World of America, and examples of these early records include Penaflor Castillo in San Bernardino, Xochimilco, Mexico, on March 8, 1708, Arrieta Castilla on December 22, 1706 in the same place. Josef Castillo married Maria Sinoba Bojorquez on November 30, 1805, in Santa Barbara, California, and on October 19, 1933, in Pomonala, Los Angeles, Joe Matusa Castillo Burg on a green mountain. The first recorded spelling of the family name is that of Antonia Castillo, dated July 12, 1678, in Asuncion, Districto Federal, Mexico, during the reign of King Charles II of Spain, Emperor of Mexico, 1665 - 1700. Surnames became necessary as governments introduced personal taxation. In England, this was known as Poll Tax. Over the centuries, surnames have continued to evolve in all countries, often leading to astonishing variations from the original spelling.

Noble and ancient line of the mountain of Santander

It originates from the Venero house. The Venero line had its ancient land in the place of Castillo (now belonging to the Arnuero town hall and the Santoña district), and it was through this land that, during the times of Don Bermudo I and Don Alfonso II, "the Chaste," the rich man Sancho Alfonso de Venero, true patriarch of the line that concerns us now, happened. The aforementioned Sancho Alfonso de Venero, Lord of the Venero house in the aforementioned place of Castillo, was, in addition to Rikohombre of Kings Don Bermudo I and Don Alfonso II "el Casto," General Captain of the latter's army that marched against the Moors led by Mugai in Galicia. He was married twice: the first with Doña Teresa de Haro, and the second with Doña Elvira Fernández, and had many children from them, of which we are only interested in naming the two eldest, which were:

1st Sancho Juan Alfonso de Venero, who as the eldest son inherited the Venero house, and

2nd Alfonso de Venero Hernández, who was the second child and the one who follows.

This Alfonso de Venero Hernández was Rikohombre of King Don Bermudo I. He founded a new house in the aforementioned place of Castillo and took his name as a surname, giving up that of Venero, so he was called Alfonso del Castillo at that time Hernández, who also calls his new house Castillo's house. Shortly thereafter, this was in contrast to Venero due to the bias of the factions between Giles and Negretes, of which the lords and elder relatives of the Venero and Ceballos houses were warlords (in the latter, the founder of Castillo married). But despite these differences, neither did the Venero house disown the Castillo house as a daughter, nor did the latter cease to consider the Venero house with the respect and reverence of a mother and to share equally the tithes of the birthplace church of Castillo and other benefits, privileges, and rights. Alfonso del Castillo Hernández married, as mentioned earlier, Doña Elvira Ceballos of the Ceballos house, and this marriage aroused feelings in his relatives, not because of the quality of the bride, which was great, but because her father was of the Negretes faction, while Sancho Alfonso Venero, father of Alfonso del Castillo, belonged to the Giles. From this union came five children, continue...

1st Juan Alfonso del Castillo, was the second Lord of the Castillo house and leader of Count Fernán González, with whom he advanced through different regions of Castile leading a large army and defeated the Moors in the Battle of Osma. He was found during the conquest of Segovia and was one of the first to enter the city. He married Doña Violante de Asturias, daughter of the Counts of Noreña, and continues...

Second Pedro del Castillo, who married Doña Urraca Calderón and founded a second Castillo house in the town of Santibañez in the Villacarriedo district, from which others of the same lineage descended.

3rd Juan del Castillo, valiant captain.

4th Rodrigo del Castillo and

5th Eylo (Luisa) del Castillo, who married into the Guevara house.

From the Castillo house, from the place of the same name, in the province of Santander, in addition to the houses mentioned in the previous genealogy, these others also originate:

The one from the town of Argoños and the towns of Rutuerto and Liérganes in the Santoña district.

The one from the town of Noja, in the same district of Santoña, which had a large lordship with an ancient building with a wall, a moat, counter-moat, towers, dice, battlements, and a coat of arms above the main door and under the coat of arms this inscription carved in stone: "House and Solar of Castillo, Cabeza de Vando (the Negretes, sister of those residing in Castillo, owned by Juan Alonso del Castillo and succeeding him son Rui Díaz de Castillo." As there were several lords of the house of the place called Castillo named Juan Alfonso or Alonso del Castillo, we cannot specify which of them was the son of Rui Díaz de Castillo who inherited the house of Noia, as the aforementioned inscription also does not clarify this information.

The one from the town of Colindres in the Laredo district, which had its own crypt in a chapel of its church. The one from the town of San Vicente de la Barquera, who had a tombstone in the monastery of San Francisco.

The one from Valle de Ruesga, in the Ramales district.
