Lozada family

The Lozada family is an aristocratic Spanish family originally from Galicia. In Galicia, the family were vast landowners of agricultural estates. Family members currently hold titles such as Count of Palancar, which predates the ruling house of House of Bourbon’s rule over Spain. Another title the family holds is the title of Viscount of Guadalupe, granted in 1667. Other titles include Count of Alamo, Count of Bagaes, Viscount San Bernardo, and Marquis di San Miniato. This last title is not recognized by the Spanish crown, as it was awarded to the family by the Grand Duchy of Tuscany.

The family also has a town in Portugal, near the Galician border named after them, called Lousada.

During the European colonization of the Americas, the family split into multiple branches, establishing lineages in Spain, Colombia, Venezuela, Peru, Argentina, and England.

The surname has multiple variations due to territorial diversity.
