⭐ Must Read: espinosa - สรุปดราม่าล่าสุด

The ancient surname Espinosa has been recorded in about forty different spellings. These range from Epine, Lepine, Delepine (French) to Espinas and Espinoza (Spanish) and Spinelli (Italian). The surname is usually listed in most surname dictionaries as of early French origin, but this is not accurate. It is more correctly of Roman (Latin) origin, deriving from the pre-Christian word "spina," a descriptor for a person who either lived near a prominent thorn bush or, more likely, in a defensive area protected by thorn bushes, or on the ridge or back of a hill. As a late medieval surname, it was also used as a nickname for a "difficult" person, a "prickly" character! It has also been suggested that the surname originally was a nickname for "a spy" in some cases. If this were the case, the derivation would have been from the French word "spionier," although this has not been proven. Early examples of the recording of the surname include Claude Espinoy in Paris in 1638, Michelle Lespine, who married Pierre Fiquet in 1632 in Rumigny, Ardennes; and Jean Epinet, from Bard, Loire, in 1689. Other recordings include that of Maria de Espinoza in San Miguel Arcangel, Mexico, on February 5, 1696, and Rueda Espinosa in San Juan Bautistia, Coyoacan, Mexico, on August 20, 1775. The coat of arms has the shield of a silver field, charged with a red fesse, and overall, an unrestrained black lion. The first recorded spelling of the family name is that of Louis Delespine, dated August 1, 1545, in the church of St. Florentine in Amboise, France, during the reign of King Francis I of France and the House of Valois, 1515 - 1547. 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 astounding variations of the original spelling. In the same legend where some writers and old chronicles found the origin of the surname Escudero, various authors also found the origin of the surname Espinosa, returning to the fabulous conspiracy of the Countess Sancha or Doña Oña, mother of the ruler, Count of Castile, Sancho García, that plotted against his son, whom he wanted to poison during a banquet at the instigation of Almanzor, in whom the Countess (widow of Count Garci Fernández) was infatuated, as the Muslim leader, a friend of Count Sancho García, was his guest at the time in Burgos. Oña's dark plans were, in some versions, unveiled by a squire who later became the founder of the Escudero line, and in others, by Sancho Peláez, the faithful Mayordomo of Count Sancho García, whom he rewarded in 1013 with the appointment of the Order of the Guards of the Monteros de Espinosa, granting him, and his aforementioned butler Sancho Peláez, a native of the town of Espinosa de los Monteros (Burgos), the honor to guard the person of the Count during the nights, a privilege that over the years, successive natives of Espinosa carried on protecting the royal person in the same manner. The keepers of this legend, as the basis for the origin of the surname Espinosa, add that the recurrent Mayordomo Sancho Peláez from then on, was called Sancho Espinosa, a surname he passed on to his successors and which they continued to wear, spreading throughout Spain. But we must ask ourselves: Is it possible to accept the formation and origin of the family name that concerns us with just the testimony of a legend, which in the various versions preserved by tradition already seems different and distorted? Such adventures of the mother of Count Sancho García, her love passion for the Moor Almanzor, her attempt to murder her son, and the latter's rescue by his faithful Mayordomo, entered into poetry and were made popular by the great poet José Zorrilla, but they have not managed to infiltrate history, as they have been categorically denied by authorized historians such as Ambrosio Morales, Yepes, Mondéjar, and others. There's more to it. The town of Espinosa de los Monteros did not bear the name Espinosa at the time of Count Sancho García. Perhaps it was still the old Monago of the Cantabrians back then. Sancho García died in 1022, and it was about fifty years later, when it was rebuilt by King Alfonso VI and he named it Espinosa because of the many thorns, that it did not have that name. History tells it, and if history is not mistaken, Sancho Peláez could hardly have taken the surname Espinosa from the name of a town that did not have that name back then. As the aforementioned town was known as Espinosa over the years, it added its second name of the Monteros, appointed by Count Sancho García to watch over his person at night, and this custom was passed down to the kings of Castile, the Hidalgos born in that town continued to guard the royal person in the same way over the centuries without interruption. From all this, it can be deduced that nothing is achieved by using a legend, which deserves to be reproduced only as a curiosity, to clarify the origin of the Espinosa lineage, bearing in mind that the surname in question, widely spread in Spain since ancient times, had different origins in different regions, without any connection of origin or kinship among them. Espinosa is a local surname. Its different houses, established in various places and towns called Espinosa in Spain, took the name of the place where they settled, and from there originated the many families bearing even the same surname in the other towns and regions.
