Hidalgo Family History
Hidalgo Name Meaning
Spanish: from hidalgo ‘nobleman’ (attested in this form
since the 12th century), a contraction of the phrase hijo de
algo ‘son of something’. The expression hijo de (Latin
filius ‘son’ + de ‘of’) is used to indicate the abundant
possession of a quality, probably influenced by similar Arabic phrases
with ibn; algo (Latin aliquid ‘something’) is
used in an elliptical manner to refer to riches or importance. As in
the case of other surnames denoting high rank, the name does not
normally refer to the nobleman himself, but is usually an occupational
name for his servant or a nickname for someone who gave himself airs
and graces.
