Buendia Family History

Spanish (Buendía): probably a habitational name from Buendía in Cuenca province, Spain. Occasionally, a nickname from bueno ‘good’ + día ‘day’ presumably denoting someone who made frequent use of this salutation.

Buendía was also occasionally used as a personal name in the Middle Ages, bestowed on a child as an expression of the parents’ satisfaction at the birth or for the sake of a good omen.
