IF YOU NEED INFORMATION OF THE CEPEDA NAME, FEEL FREE TO CALL ME AT MY MICHIGAN HOME PHONE: 1-616-457-2633, MY NAME IS JOY.
I HAVE DONE AN EXTENSIVE SEARCH ON THE NAME OF CEPEDA, WHICH IS THE CORRECT SPELLING (NOT ZEPEDA). THE NAME CEPEDA DERIVES FROM SAINT TERESA AHUMADA DE CEPEDA OF AVILLA SPAIN (1515). SHE IS ONE OS 10 CHILDREN WHOSE BROTHERS CAME INTO MEXICO DURING THE SPANISH INQUISITION AS CONQUISTADORS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE MORE INFORMATION ON THE NAME CALL ME. MY NAME IS JOY CEPEDA. MY HUSBAND IS FROM MEXICO, HIS FATHER IS ONE OF 14 CHILDREN AND SO IS HIS MOTHER.

I am very interested and will try to call you. The name Cepeda does ot derive from Sta. Teresa de Jesus since she never had children. The name derives from her father side of the family line and is continued by her brothers. Several of her sisters became nuns, therefore, had no descendants.

I am from the island of Saipan. I'm currently residing in California. All my life I've been wondering where my last name came from. The filipinos from my island are claiming that Cepeda is originally from the phillipines. I have a booklet that shows all my ancestors. They are all from Guam. Please help us find out more information. Who knows we could be distant relatives.

Hi Joy, my name is Mario A. Cepeda, nice to cyber meet you, I hope? I have read that the name Cepeda originated when the Visi Goths entered Spain through Salamanca(spelling?) in the 4th century A.D.; they were nomads of Germanic ancestory. I am also one of ten children. If you want me to call you, send me an email.

Take care,
your amigo, Mario

Hi my name is Debi Cepeda. I am a Cepeda through marriage but I have always been interested as to where the name comes from. My Husband Gilbert does not have much family here in the states and does not know very much about any Cepeda ancestors. At least now I have an idea of where the name org. from. My husband's family is from Mexico and that is all I really know about the name. I am glad I found this site.
