Beltrán is a Spanish-Italian surname (or given male name) of initially Italian origin with the first record of the surname found at the University of Bologna. Centuries later, the surname primarily came to be found in the Catalan-speaking region of eastern Spain and southern France. It derives from the Germanic words berht ("bright") and hramn ("raven").[1] It shares this same Germanic origin with Bertrand (French) and Bertram (German). In non-Spanish speaking countries, the accent is usually omitted as Beltran.
