My Last Name




 Siurano History
    Catalan surname, from the place so called, belonging to the jurisdiction of Figueras, Girona. The first member of this family on record is Don Benito Ciurana who participated in the conquest of Valencia under the orders of King Jaime I of Aragon, fighting in the battles that led to Burriana sites and Lucena del Cid Villas Castellón province and those of Benaguacil and Ares, in the Valencia and Alicante respectively. Later, he accompanied the sovereign said the war in Murcia, where he was credited for its outstanding value. The King rewarded his services with the Lordship of Villores, the judicial district of Morella, where established solar house and left descendants.

    My last name is naturally from spain. It first was written like "Ciurana". The first person who brought it to PR was my father's great grandfather. The first person to have this name was "Heraldica Ciurana". When my father's grandfather came to PR he changed his name from Ciurana to Siurano and that's how it spread out through the family.
