The Santos family is a Colombian political family that has played a prominent role in Colombian politics since the 1930s, primarily as the first family of Colombia from 1938 to 1942 and from 2010 to 2018, during the presidencies of Eduardo Santos and Juan Manuel Santos, respectively. They also played a prominent role in Colombian diplomacy, art, journalism, and business. They were also the second family of the Colombia from 2002 to 2010, when Francisco Santos was vice president. The Santos family is one of five families to have produced two presidents of Colombia by the same surname; the others were the López, Holguín, Ospina and Lleras families.
Known for their political involvement, their relatives have held various national and state positions over four generations, including ambassador to Colombia (Vice President Francisco Santos; President Eduardo Santos; and Juan Manuel Santos).[1] Other relatives include independence heroine Antonia Santos; journalists Rafael and Alejandro Santos; and lawyer Gabriel Santos.[2][3][4][5]
The Santos family is primarily of Spanish descent. Their European origins date back to the 18th century, with Ysidoro Manuel Santos being their first ancestor born in Colombia, in 1647. The Santos family originated in Cádiz through settlers who arrived in Colombia, settling in Santander.
