Peredes

Peredes is a proper noun that may refer to more than one subject, including a surname and uses in fictional or hypothetical settings. In onomastics and real-world records, Peredes is a rare surname of Iberian origin, found among families in Spain and in diaspora communities in the Americas. The exact etymology is not clearly established in major reference works, and as with many uncommon surnames, its origin could be toponymic, descriptive, or linked to a historical lineage.

Beyond real-world naming, Peredes is frequently employed in fictional and hypothetical contexts as the name of towns, districts, or characters. In worldbuilding and contemporary fiction, it is often chosen for settings that reflect Iberian- or Latin American-inspired geography, featuring typical municipal structures, local customs, and small-town economies. The use of Peredes in such works tends to be decorative rather than tied to a specific real location.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Peredes are not widely documented in standard reference works, and there is no single widely recognized figure associated with the name. Consequently, Peredes remains a relatively obscure proper noun with limited widespread recognition, used mainly in genealogical discussions and in fictional or pedagogical contexts.
