The proud and distinguished Portuguese surname Albuquerque dates back to pre-12th century Badajoz province of Iberia, where the region's cork industry is centered. The Latin language name of "white oak" (alba quercus) became the village name of Albuquerque, so the people that lived near there gained that as their surname.
