Surnames

Ranchos,

 

Soon after the Spanish Conquest of Mexico and thereafter during Colonial times, the ruling Españoles did not permit the Native Indians from possessing surnames unless the Indios were of a special allied family, the Indios somehow had earned themselves a surname, or eventually the adopted a surname out of names that were not necessarily surnames.

 

Reyes is one such last name.  Every year on January 6, the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast Day of the Epiphany, or Feast of the Magi, when the three wise king visited the Baby Jesus in Bethlehem.  In Mexico and Spain the day is called Epifanía or “Día de los Reyes Magos.”  The “Reyes” were called Melchor, Gaspar, and Baltazar.  So as a result of this holy day, many children born on or near the holy-day were named one or a combination of the following:  José Epifánio, María Epifánia, José de los Reyes, María de los Reyes, Melchor, Melchora, Gaspar, or Baltazar.

 

This is essentially what happened to children born on other

I went to this page:



http://genealogy.about.com/gi/dynamic/offsite.htm?site=http://www.loc.gov/rr/hispanic/geneal/index%5Fgc.html



and plugged Rey in and found that according to this Heraldry Dictionary
the names were different. Of coure that doesn't mean that one name
didn't evolve into the other or a lot of other possibilities:


Index to the Enciclopedia Heráldica Hispano-Americana of
Alberto and Arturo García Carraffa

The 88 volumes of this work, [Library of Congress Call Number:
CR2142.G3] supplemented by a continuing work, offer an immense tribute
to the work of indefatigable genealogists. The work treats Spanish
heraldry in the first two volumes, and with volume three begins the Diccionario
Heráldico y Genealógico de Apellidos Españoles y Americanos, or
a listing of over 15,000 names with their respective genealogical
histories (with color illustrations of representative crests) of
Spanish and Spanish-American families. Please note that on the spine

Rey/Reyes Name

Published by Nuestros Ranchos – Published on
Forums
Historical Archives
I have on more than one occasion heard that people with the Rey or 
Reyes last name belong to one and the same family. How can this be 
possible??  Has anyone heard similar comments or can anyone 
elaborate. Is it a root name of another name, where does it 
orginate, does it come from another country??? In my family I have 
RuizRey, Flores-Rey, Rey, these families are from the Camargo 
Chihuahua area. Yet, my daughter married a Tomas Rey in El Paso, Tx.

Are they related or what?

I don't know if you've had a reply yet  regarding the request
for a translator. I can give the translation a try and if I can't get
it just right I can find someone to assist me.
 
We just returned from Tlachichila and Nochistlan Zacatecas.I
have lots of information to share with the group.
 
Please let me know either way.
