Manrique Family Crest

Jun 10, 2008 by

Good afternoon, today I have for you the family crest of the last name Manrique. Mr. Pablo Andrés Manriquez Galvao, requested the shield of the last name MANRIQUEZ, in the  Spanish Nobiliary I found the last name Manrique, without the “Z”, and it is not specific about it being the same in two forms. Eventually I found in a source of Anglo-Saxon heraldry, the statement that they are the same last name. I took more time since I wanted to verify such statement.

manriqueDerived Castilian last name of the name Manrique. The trunk of this lineage seems to be in Toba of Valdivielso, in the county of Burgos. Another house was located in Salamanca, and another in the Villa of Benavente and one more in Tarazona. This last name proved its nobility in Santiago’s Order and San Juan de Jerusalem Order. Don José Manrique de Arana was created Marquis of Villa Alegre de Andollo on December 7, 1685; don Nicolás Manrique de Lara, became Marquis of Lara on December 10,1739, and don Jerónimo Manrique de Lara, became Count of Almudez de Toledo on February 23, 1790.
Its Arms: In gules field, two boilers jaqueladas of gold and sable, on a column, with four sinople serpents, sticking out of each side of the handles, two towards inside and two towards out. Motto “US NON OF KING, KINGS COME FROM US.”

    Amazing. I’ve always wondered about my surname. Thank you very much for posting this. One quick question though…”US NON OF KING…”

    What does that mean?

  2. EJ Jr.

    Pablo thank you for visiting our blog. the “MOTTO” means, “we do not come from kings, kings come from us” does that makes sense? tell your friends about us!

    Excelent.

    Looks like i’ve heard of that motto before. Dont know where or when exactly. Maybe my grandfather. But Indeed: The blood of kings come from us; we have the ability to become true knights and kings. The world need true ones.

    Thanks!

  4. I am from Bolivia Potosi and i would like to contact anyone from spain with the same surname. I am so happy i have a family crest. I currently reside in London but i am missing Bolivia very much.

  5. Jorge Manrique

    Another Manrique here from Arkansas. My family came to America from Guanajuato, Mexico and settled in Texas for the most part. I’ve heard of the family motto as being “Nos non venimos de reyes, que reyes vienen de nos.”(We don’t come from kings, kings come from us.)

    All of the Manrique family is descended from the Lara family of Spain. Our Manrique last name comes from Manrique Perez de Lara, son of, Pedro Gonsalez de Lara.

  8. Manrique de Lara

    Siempre supe que esta devisa era del apellido Manrique de Lara

  9. Joaquín Manrique

    This Manrique here from Mexico City. I got the name from relatives in Guerrero. While there’s many ways to get a surname, I think ours is an uncommon one (both as a given and a family name), so there may be a chance some of us are related.

    I think it’d be nice to track where we come from…

  10. O Manrique

    here from dallas, tx my family comes from Jalisco, Mexico but most migrated here and stays in dallas

  11. Juan Antonio Manrique Tejada

    Manrique, originating from Guatemala City, Guatemala. Residing in Long Beach, CA. Great to see so many Manrique’s proud of their name.

  12. A, Manrique

    My Manrique comes from Villalobos, Spain (N of Madrid in Castilla), then to Mendoza and Buenos Aires Argentina, and my generation… Montreal, Quebec, Canada (born in Argentina, though).

  13. miguel juan falcon y lara

    people, the last name manrique doesnt come from this, it is lara……..this is the crest of one of the families branches, descending from the person names Manrique De Lara…………and most laras dont come from that line because they mostly dies out in the 15th century……..

  14. Brandon Manrique

    I have always wondered all so but my grandfather had got rid of the de lara part from our last name so now we are just manrique. I love our crest.

  15. Lucy Swanson

I dont know anyone on my dad side I just know my grandmothers name was Felicia Manrique and she was from Guanajuato. She had three or two other sisters. I have always been curious to know my fathers side, just to know where my roots come from…any help will be appreciated.

  20. Andrew Manrique-

    Hello fellow Manrique family! Nice to see more out there.

  21. TITO MANRIQUE

    MY FATHER CAME FROM SPAIN TO VENEZUELA. OUR FAMILY LIVES NOW IN FLORIDA, USA.
    THE ORIGINAL MOTTO IN OUR COAT OF ARMS ACCORDING TO MY FATHER WHO KNEW THIS WELL IS:
    ” NON TANTO DEBEMOS A REYES QUE REYES DEBEN A NOS ” WHICH MEANS ” THE KINGS OWE US MORE THAN WE OWE THE KINGS” . MANY MANRIQUES SERVED IN SPAINS ROYAL FOR COURTS FOR CENTURIES AND WERE GREAT POETS AND SCHOLARS AS WAS MY FATHER.

  22. H Manrique de Lara

    unless your full last name reads Manrique de Lara, doesn’t mean you are directly linked to the Family.
    keep in mind that to come to the “new conitinent” back in the 1600 and 1700 you had to “rent” a noble name. that’s why there are derivatives like Manrique, Manriquez, Manrrique, Lara deLara Delara, etc..

    if your lastname is Manrique de Lara, and your family comes (NOW) from Mexico (or straight from Spain) then we’re directly linked.

    I would love to do a DNA test on all of us and try to trace it back to the 1100, which is when it really started! this is so cool!
