Trujillo History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

The original bearer of the name Trujillo, which is a local surname, once lived, held land, or was born in the beautiful region of Spain. In Spain, hereditary surnames were adopted according to fairly general rules and during the late Middle Ages, names that were derived from localities became increasingly widespread. Local names originally denoted the proprietorship of the village or estate. The Trujillo family originally lived in the town named Trujillo in the province of Caceres, which is in western Spain and borders with Portugal.
