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

The original bearer of the name Daguerre, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Spain. In Spain, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. Many Spanish local names reflect Arabic words or place-names because the Muslim Moors from the 8th to 12th centuries conquered Spain. The Daguerre family originally lived in a noble or reputable place in a village. The surname Daguerre originally derived from the Basque word Ager which meant visible or prominent.
