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

From the historical and enchanting region of Spain emerged a multitude of noble families, including the distinguished Delasantos family. Originally, the Spanish people were known only by a single name. The process by which hereditary surnames were adopted in Spain is extremely interesting. Surnames evolved during the Middle Ages when people began to assume an extra name to avoid confusion and to further identify themselves. Often they adopted names that were derived from nicknames. Nickname surnames were derived from an eke-name, or added name. They usually reflected the physical characteristics or attributes of the first person that used the name. The name Delasantos is a nickname type of surname for a person who was born on All Saint's Day. In the medieval chronicles, the name was originally recorded in the Latin form Sanctorum.
