Draft:Alpuche

  • Comment: All that this draft says is that Alpuche is a surname of Spanish origin, in use in the late 16th century and the early 19th, and that its etymology is obscure. How it might merit an article (how it might qualify under WP:N) is a puzzle. Hoary (talk) 06:45, 16 May 2026 (UTC)

Alpuche

Alpuche is a surname of Spanish origin. A documented occurrence of the surname appears in late sixteenth-century Spain. In a 2001 article on the Mora family of Quintanar de la Orden, historian Vincent Parello records that in 1588, by order of the inquisitors of Cuenca, the secretary Julián de Alpuche went to the Cámara del Secreto of Toledo to retrieve legal processes, genealogies, and sentences concerning members of the Mora family.[1]

Historical attestation

The surname is attested in Castilian inquisitorial documentation from the late sixteenth century. Parello mentions Julián de Alpuche as a secretary acting under the authority of the inquisitors of Cuenca in 1588, when he searched the secret archive of Toledo for records relating to the Mora family of Quintanar de la Orden.[2]

Possible etymology

The etymology of the surname has not been conclusively established in the available secondary literature. A possible comparison may be made with Catalan surnames or toponyms containing Puig, meaning "hill" or "height", but this connection requires further citation from specialist onomastic sources.

People with the surname

  • José María Alpuche e Infante (1780–1840), Mexican priest, politician, senator, federalist, public speaker, and writer. He was born in Campeche on 9 October 1780 and became active in Mexican political life during the early republic.[3]
  • Wenceslao Alpuche y Gorozica (1804–1841), Mexican poet, writer, and politician from Yucatán. The Enciclopedia de la Literatura en México records him as an author in Spanish who served as a deputy in the local congress and in the Congress of the Union.[4]
