GOMEZ Family History

This popular surname is of Old Spanish origin, and is a patronymic form of the surname from the personal name "Gomo", which is itself a pet form of "Gomesano", composed of Old Spanish elements meaning "man, path", plus the patronymic suffix "-ez", son of, which derives from a Latin genitive, "-ici", denoting affiliation. Gomez is also cognate with the English surname Gomme, which originates from the Olde English "guma", iddle English "gome", man. Early examples of the surname in Spanish Church Registers include: the christening of Juan Gomez (Solis) on December 1st 1535, at Nuestra Senora La Antiqua, Valladolid; the christening of Maria, daughter of Anton and Ines Gomez, on May 8th 1558, also at Nuestra Senora La Antiqua; and the marriage of Pedro Gomez to Catalina Garcia, on November 19th 1572, at San Sebastian, Villapalacios, Albecate...
