Surnames: Arbelo, Arvelo, Albelo
The Arvelo or Arbelo name originated in Bari, Italy, which is a large, industrial town in the south of Italy.
Our ancestors travelled to the Canary Islands, which are owned by Spain and are located off the coast of Africa. The Canary Islands are called the islands of the Arvelo's (Arbelo's) by Arvelo/Arbelo family members.
Some Arbelo family members settled in Louisiana during the 1770's, some went to Puerto Rico and others travelled to Venezuela.
Our ancestors who were living in the Canary Islands, were politicians, mayors, artists, singers, & musicians.
One famous Arvelo is named Pepito Arvelo. He was a well known classical guitarist from Puerto Rico who travelled throughout Europe and South America in the 1960's.
The Arvelo name came from Arbelo. Arbelo is the original spelling of our last name. I have a copy of the Arbelo family coat of Arms which I received several years ago via the internet from a friend in Tenerife. This proves that the original spelling of our name was Arbelo.
Hope this helps.
