Cognome

Guimarães

Nickname of toponymic origin, taken from the old town, today the City of Guimarães. Conde D. Pedro, son of King D. Dinis, in his Book of Lineages, speaks of some people who called themselves Guimarães, among them the sons D. Pedro Fromarigues, Riba de Vizela, who were called D. Paio Pires de Guimarães, D. Pedro Pires de Guimarães and D. Fernäo Pires de Guimarães, of whom he was a generation. Most nobiliaries, however, derive this nickname from Martinho de Guimarães, or Martinho de Castro de Guimarães, Registrar of the Chamber of Archbishop Jorge da Costa, Notary General of el-Rei, Commander of Garfe and Ordinary Judge from Braga in the years 1494 and 1544. Over the centuries many Guimarães have received Mercês as Foros de Nobreza or Cartas de Brasão.
