Vidal

Vidal is a name that originated in Spain based on the Latin Vitalis, referring to the trait of vitality. Though first used as a given name, it is most commonly found as a surname, which is incredibly common globally. It is a Catalan surname, originally from the historic Kingdom of Aragon and now common across Spanish-speaking nations. Infrequently seen as a given name, this is still found globally, though it has more popular variants.

Origins and etymology
Origin and meaning Vidal originated as a given name and may be given as a baptismal name, a rendering of the Latin name Vītālis (and its origin, vita), meaning "life" and "vitality". This ultimately derived from a proto-Indo-European root that Juan Sebastián Elián, in his dictionary of surnames, referred to as guem and defined as meaning "to come into the world"; Elián wrote that this root meaning was interpreted as a blessing for long life for newborns. This interpretation is also reflected in some of the surname's variants, those coming from vivas, "(to will that) you live", and vivere, the imperative "to live". Spanish given name etymology The name was recorded in Spain at least as early as the 3rd century AD, when Saint Vidal of Complutum was martyred. Elián suggested subsequent usage may be more related to its meaning than being named after anyone, Comparatively, argued for a connection between the Roman Spanish saints Vidal and Marcellus, and opined that their names were likely used as family identifiers, and could have been used in conjunction with each other, as was common among notable families in Roman times. He suggested that both the given name and surname Vidal descend from the martyr. As a given name, Vidal is one of the Spanish names common among Sephardim. The surname's traditional coat of arms is a red background with a silver eagle wearing a golden crown, listed it as one of the common surnames derived from given names. Historians and Pascual Martínez Sopena wrote in 2010 that Vidal was one of a group of surnames that likely passed through Aragonese and Occitan as well as Catalan in its history. Linguist Xaverio Ballester, also citing Guinot, wrote the same in 2021, adding that Vidal is therefore "indistinct", i.e. cannot be assigned as belonging to any language in the modern day. == History ==
History
Roman Hispania During the Roman rule of the Iberian peninsula, the Catholic martyr Vidal was born in present-day Madrid in the 3rd century. When the Diocletianic Persecution began, Vidal and his companions moved to Campania in exile, but were discovered and martyred in 293 AD near Padua. but he is not the only saint named (a version of) Vitalis. There are at least twelve Vidals in the santoral published by . The name has been recorded since at least the 12th century in the east of Spain: Peter II of Aragon granted land in Baix Ebre to Martí Vidal in order to build for the founding of the Order of Sant Jordi d'Alfama. It may also have been a surname in the name of Sancho Vidal, a 10th-century knight who discovered a plot to kill the infant prince Sancho II and rescued him. The knight Bernardo Vidal (a relative of, but not the same person as, the Bernardo Vidal from whom Mares said the surname originated) had been an advisor to James I during the conquest of Valencia. According to , Bernardo Vidal de Besalú (either the advisor Bernardo Vidal or his relative) was courageous in the Battle of the Puig and was thus awarded Carpesa by James I. In the 14th century, the bishop of Valencia was called Vidal, third son of the first Vidal de Blanes; bishop Vidal's nephew, Vidal de Blanes (III), became governor of Valencia in 1413. The first winner of this event, in 1324, was another Vidal: Occitan writer Arnaut Vidal de Castelnou d'Ari. In the 14th century, Vidal knights continued to be closely connected to the royal household of Aragon and participated in the Siege of Almería and the Aragonese conquest of Sardinia, while others were royal prosecutors in the kingdom's territories of Roussillon (present day France), Cerdanya (France-Spain border), and Sardinia (present day Italy). In the Balearics Vidal has been identified as a typical Mallorcan surname; linguist Marc Gandarillas noted it is "not properly" Mallorcan, in that it appears across the Catalan-speaking world. A Pedro Vidal participated in the conquest of Mallorca and was rewarded with Montuïri in 1230 in return; In the 14th century, there was a deputy for Mallorca called Pedro Vidal, The surname also has illustrious history on the Balearic island of Menorca, where it was first recorded at the start of the 14th century with Pedro Vital – whose high office required Latinisation of names but whose name would have been Vidal – a deputy for Menorca but based in Perpignan (present day France). Various members were made captains during this time, having careers in warfare and royal service. Their line, vassals in Mahón, was still producing captains in 1724. Ballester noted that, among Jews, Vidal was found most frequently as a given name in Sagunto in the 14th and 15th centuries; Sagunto was one of the first towns in Spain where the Jewish diaspora settled during the Roman era. noted that the names on the Inquisition list were "the most common in Catalonia and even in Spain", and that "this destroyed any fantasy about the existence of specifically Jewish surnames." Vidal did not appear in Albaigès' list of Jewish surnames; it was included in his list of surnames associated with Xuetes (Mallorcan conversos), though he compiled this list to demonstrate the fallacy of Jewish surnames of the time and the arbitrary nature of their segregation. Vidal was among the 500 most common masculine given names, and 750 most common surnames, in Latin America in 1968; by capital city, it was among the most common surnames in Buenos Aires, Caracas, La Paz, Lima, Mexico City, Montevideo, and Santiago. In the late 18th century in Haiti, a Mr. Vidal was recorded to have kidnapped 500 men from a prison in Port-au-Prince in order to traffic them to Cartagena and Portobelo. In 19th-century Uruguay, the surname appeared as that of slaves and of a non-white soldier during the war in Banda Oriental. Though Catalan surnames were less common in Venezuela than its neighbours, Vidal was among those reported in the 20th century. In Chile in the 21st century, surnames are social indicators, a phenomenon Chilean journalist Óscar Contardo explained by comparing Vial (a "buen apellido" with strong social cache) and the orthographically and phonologically similar Vidal: "The supposition doesn't make any sense, unless it is about a fellow Chilean and a comparison between surnames. Because a Vial will never ever be the same as a Vidal. There are Vidal's who would kill to be Vial's". In modernity In the 18th century, Vidal was still a distinguished surname in Aragon, where one line from Magallón had privileges based on descent from a man named in a bull from Pope Clement VII. In 1994, Vidal was the joint-24th most common surname in Barcelona. As of 2016, the surname was proportionally most popular in Castellón and Lleida. == People ==
