SpainNoble surnames, such as Barahona, evoke images of the ancient homeland of the Spanish people. The original bearer of the name Barahona, 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.

The Barahona family lived in the region of Barbarius, in the province of Tarragona.
The surname Barahona was first found in Castile, prominent among the medieval Christian kingdoms of Spain.
