Leturiondo Family Crest

Jun 10, 2008 by El Heraldo

Good evening, today I have for you the family crest of the last name Leturiondo.
Last name of guipuzcoanas roots, a word that means “next to the house” in Castilian. This house had illustrious lineages in Sumárraga and Azcoitia, where their members were always considered as noblemen. Several of this lineage passed to America, at the end of the XVII century, settling down in Mexico. To have an idea of the nobility of this last name that extended very little for Spain and being limited to their places of origin, one should know that their members figured numerous times as General Deputies of Guipúzcoa, their solar houses were in the villages of Deva, Guetaría, Sara, Vergara, Mondragón, Elgoibar and Villafranca, at the end of the XVII century.

Its Arms: In field of gold, a sinople tree and two sable bears, pasantes to the foot of the trunk.
