Best Answer

During the medieval era, the male given name Sancho was wildly popular in Spain. You see, there was a Sancho who was martyred in Cordoba (by impalement) in the 9th century because he had refused to embrace Islam. The prestigious Spanish surname Sanchez is first found in the Visigothic-era records of Castile.
