GreatAudioBooks In Public Domain This unusual and interesting surname is of Spanish origin, a place name for someone who lived near blackberry and mulberry bushes. The word is derived from the Spanish "mora," mulberry, blackberry, from the Latin "morum." There are several place names with this word, and the surname could be a place name derived from any of these. Place surnames were among the earliest surnames created in small medieval communities, as both natural and man-made features on the landscape became easily recognizable identifying names, and place surnames were originally given to local landowners and lords of manors. on October 14, 1596, Gaspar Morales and Tomás Gonzalez, son of Ana Gonzalez, were baptized in Cádiz, Spain. The coat of arms given to the Morales family of Castile and Catalonia is a shield divided into quarters, with a green mulberry tree above a terrace of the same color on the first and fourth gold quarters and three black horizontal bars on the second and third silver quarters. The surname Francisco de Morales was first recorded on October 29, 1570, during the reign of King Philip XI of Spain (1556-1598), as a witness to a baptismal ceremony at Nuestra Senora La Antigua in Valladolid, Italy. Surnames became necessary only after the government introduced personal taxation. In England, this was known as the poll tax. Over the centuries, surnames in all countries have continued to "evolve," often creating surprising variants from the original spellings.
