It references the family's settlements surroundings of forest on mountainous terrain in Carballo, Galicia, northwestern Spain.

Etymology

Carballo has many variations in its spelling, including Carvallo, Carbello, Carvalho, Carbalho, Caraballo, Carbajo, Carvajal, Caballer, Caballe, Carballino, partly because of illiteracy in early times. Surnames like Carballo transform their pronunciation and spelling as they travel across villages, family branches, and countries. In times when literacy was uncommon, names such as Carballo were written down based on their pronunciation when people's names were written in government records. This could have led to misspellings of Carballo. Researching the misspellings and alternate spellings of the Carballo last name is vital to understanding the possible origins of the name.

Some of the first spelling variations for the origins of the old name Carballo were found in the County of Castile in medieval Spain. While the patronymic and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the name of the father and mother, respectively, are the most common form of a hereditary surname in Spain, occupational surnames also emerge during the late Middle Ages. Many people, such as the Carballo family, adopted the name of their occupation as their surname. The surname Carballo was an occupational name for a knight or a knight's servant.

The name Carballo is documented as far back as 759 AD to Avilense Carballo alongside Morales, and Sebastian recorded by "Menendez Valdez, Miriano".[1] There was a religious crusade with the Archbishop of Spain, the King of Spain and the country of Italy.

His name is Ferdinand Carballo.

Some of the first Spanish voyagers and or settlers of this family name or its variants were among the earliest explorers or Conquistadors of the New World were Juan de Cavallón, a Spanish military captain,[2] who sailed to the Americas in the early 1500s. He claimed the territory of Costa Rica for the Spanish Crown and died in Mexico in 1565.

Cabral conducted the first substantial exploration of the northeast coast of South America and claimed it for Portugal. Juan Rodríguez Cabrillo (1499–1543) was a navigator and explorer known for exploring the west coast of North America on behalf of the Spanish Empire. Cabrillo was the first European explorer to navigate the coast of present-day California in the United States.

The Carvalho and Carvallo families

Carvalho
The Portuguese branch of the lineage is traced back to Bartolomeo Domingues de Carvalho', whose son Fernao Gomez de Carvalho was a military officer under the son of King Dinis of Portugal. One of the sons of Fernao, Gil Fernandes de Carvalho, was made a nobleman in Spain as part of the Order of the Caballeros de Santiago.

The coat of arms of the Carvalho family is described as follows: "Three ostrich feathers on top of the navy blue shield. On the navy blue shield, there is one bright golden eight-point star surrounded by eight white crescent moons."

Another important ancestor is Sebastião José de Carvalho e Mello, Marquês de Pombal (1699–1782), a Portuguese statesman who was the virtual ruler of the country during the reign (1750–77) of Joseph Emanuel. Sebastião was born in Lisbon on May 13, 1699, and educated at the University of Coimbra.

In 1738, he was appointed Ambassador to London and seven years later was sent to Vienna in a similar capacity. In 1750, Joseph I of Portugal appointed him minister of state and he soon proved his administrative talents. When the devastating 1755 Lisbon earthquake struck, he organized the relief efforts and planned its rebuilding.

He was made Chief Minister in 1756, and his powers were practically absolute from then on. Sebastião abolished slavery in Portugal, reorganized the educational system, and published a new code of laws. He affected the reorganization of the army, the introduction of new colonists into the Portuguese settlements, and the establishment of an East India Company and other companies for trade with Brazil. Agriculture, commerce, and finances were all improved. The king made him a marquis in 1770. Sebastião's power ended with the death of the king, and he retired to Pombal, Paraíba, where he died on May 8, 1782.

Carvallo
The Carvallo name is the Lusitan form of the Galician name Carballo. Its origin is derived from the name of the place where one lived, or the property owner was from and the founder of the lineage.

Carvallo was taken directly from "Carballo," which was a place in the province of Lugo in Galicia. Hence, someone from that province was someone from Carballo. Carballo comes from the Portuguese word carvalho, which means oak. Therefore, this name means the place where the oaks come from.

In Portugal, Carvalho is also the name of a province in the district of Pe acova, within the Carvalho Mountains. In Spain, during the Reconquista, the name Carballo was extended from Galicia to the Iberian Peninsula and to the Canary Islands.

The spelling of the name Carvallo, with a "v", dates its origins back to Viscaya or the Biscay. During most recent findings, several members of this lineage sailed for the New World in the latter 19th century, arriving in countries like Chile, Argentina, Mexico, the United States, and Venezuela.

The lineage that established itself in Venezuela built roots in Caracas and Valencia. Most of the members of this lineage became businessmen, lawyers, politicians, and economists.

On the branch that settled itself in Valencia, six members have been governors of the city and its state over the last 100 years.[9]
