Apellido toponímico de ciudad de origen catalán cuyo significado es "el guardián de la puerta", era el responsable del cobro de tributos a la entrada de la ciudad y, en algunos casos, el jefe de la guardia personal del principal. Desde el siglo XIII lo encontramos escrito con distintas ortografías, Porta, Porte, Saporta, Laporte. Don Hugo P., vecino de Olot, reunió una considerable fortuna como lo prueba su testamento fechado en 1438. Don Juan P. entró al servicio de don Fernando el Católico en el año 1490, que por su fidelidad, valor y nobleza le fueron otorgados privilegios y prevendas para el comercio con Nápoles. Existen documentos fechados en 1573 y 1581 que prueban el comercio de Don Juan P. con la Serenísima República de Venecia y Florencia. Un cardenal de la curia de Alejandro VI cuyo nombre es Martín P., se distinguió por su amor a la ingeniería siendo protector de Leonardo da Vinci. Otra rama de esta familia se dedicó a la agricultura y Don Carlos P. murió en el asedio de Barcelona por las tropas de Felipe V., en el asalto de la puerta de las ramblas.
