Notes
- ↑ Earlier writers on the name had suggested it was of more ancient, gothic origin. Alberto and Arturo García Carraffa in their Enciclopedia heráldica y genealógica hispano-americana (1919) believed the name to be germanic from "good man", while Julio de Atienza, in Nobiliario español: Diccionario heráldico de apellidos españoles y de títulos nobiliarios (1949), suggested that the Guzmans came from Germany and settled in Burgos in 950, and the name is a corruption of Gudemaro, the Spanish form of the name of a gothic king.[2] Neither provided evidence for their suggestions and the early examples of the name show its toponymic form, while their dating of the family's origin predates the use of surnames in Iberia by more than a century.
