Bécquers

Bécquers is a surname of Spanish origin. It is believed to derive from the personal name Bécquer, which itself is thought to be a diminutive or variant of a Germanic given name such as "Bego" or "Wigbert". The surname is found primarily in Spain and has some prevalence in Latin America due to historical Spanish colonization. Its etymology suggests a patronymic or occupational origin, though specific historical records linking early bearers to a particular profession are scarce. The most famous bearer of this name is the Spanish poet and writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer, whose Romantic works significantly influenced Spanish literature in the 19th century. His literary fame has likely contributed to the recognition of the surname. While not an exceptionally common surname, Bécquers is present in various regions of Spain, particularly in Andalusia, where Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer was born. Variations in spelling might exist across different Spanish-speaking regions.
