Where did the Spanish Almaraz family come from? What is the Spanish Almaraz family crest and coat of arms? When did the Almaraz family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Almaraz family history?

The ancient and noble surname Almaraz is of Spanish descent and appears to be of local, or toponymic, origin. Thus, it is derived from the place of residence of the initial bearer, which, in this instance, is the place name "Almaraz." The place name Almaraz is derived from the Arabic word "almarada" which signified "a sharp needle for sewing sandals."
