Arámbula

Arámbula is a surname of Spanish origin. The accent on the first syllable reflects Spanish orthography, though the name is frequently written without diacritics in non-Spanish contexts (for example, as Arambula).

The precise etymology of Arámbula is not widely documented in standard reference works. Surnames of this type are often described as toponymic or derived from local geographic features or names that were incorporated into family names during Iberian naming practices. As a result, the exact geographic source of Arámbula can be difficult to pin down, and multiple family lines may have adopted the name independently.

Distribution of the surname is strongest in Spanish-speaking regions. It is found in Spain and throughout Latin America, with a notable presence in Mexico. In countries outside of Latin America, including the United States, Arámbula can appear within communities of Mexican and other Latino ancestry, where diacritics are frequently omitted in official records and everyday use.

Notable people with the surname Arámbula have appeared in various fields such as sports, arts, and academia, but no single individual dominates the public profile of the name. The surname may be carried by families across generations, reflecting broader patterns of Spanish-language surname distribution and migration.
