Guimarães

Italiano  English  Español  Deutsch

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. These include the award granted on 12.8.1782 to António José Guimarães, from Porto; in 1788 to Captain Jerónimo Ribeiro de Guimarães, from Grão Pará, Brazil; on 23.9.1848 to António Alves de Sousa Guimarães, Alderman of Porto; on 6.10.1865 to António Luís Machado Guimarães; in 1846 to Luís de Castro Guimarães, and to many others who left illustrious descent among which are the Counts of Castro Guimarães, or the Guimarães Serôdio, Counts of Sabrosa.Timbre: the lion of the shield.
