Alonso de Benavides ((ポルトガル語:Afonso de Benavides)) (c.1578-1635) was a Portuguese Franciscan missionary active in New Mexico, in the early part of the seventeenth century. His use of the term ''Navaho'' is said to be the first printed reference.〔(Appendix I )〕 ==Life== He was born on São Miguel Island, Azores, Portugal. He came to New Spain in 1598, and professed in the Franciscan convent of Mexico in 1603. After acting as master of novices at the convent of Puebla, he became Custos of the Missions of New Mexico, 1626-9. He founded a mission in 1627 at what is now Santa Clara Pueblo, New Mexico.〔Raymond Friday Locke, ''The Book of the Navajo'' (2002), p. 164.〕 With the support of the King of Spain, and helped by Fray Esteban de Peréa, he secured a reinforcement of missionaries there.〔(Diocese of Gallup )〕 He travelled to Spain in 1630 and there was in communication with María de Ágreda〔See Joan Carroll Cruz, ''Relics'' (1984), pp. 275-6, for an account of the ''Lady in Blue''.〕 He acted as confessor to Francisco de Melo, 1633-5.
