Cintrón
Cintrón The surname Cintrón has an occupational origin, meaning it was derived from the type of work or profession of its initial bearer. In this case, Cintron comes from the Spanish word "cinta" (1012), which is derived from the Latin "cintla," the feminine passive participle of "cingere," meaning "to gird." Its derivatives include "cinto" (1490), from the Latin "cinctus," "cinturón," "cintura," derived from "cingere," and "cintillo" (1611). The Cintrón family's lineage saw its nobility recognized with the granting of a coat of arms, recorded by Vicente de Cadenas y Vicent in his work "Repertorio de Blasones de la Comunidad Hispánica," a compilation of Spanish surnames and foreign families settled in Spain. The names of three descendants of this lineage are documented in the index of personal files from the "Archivo General Militar de Segovia": Juan Cintrón from the militia department in 1847, Juan Cintron y Garcia, Militia, and Luis Cintura Bulle, Infantry 1883.
