Originally owned by a Basque nobleman named Sossiondo, the name was later modified to Sociando due to phonetic changes. The estate experienced various owners, including the Cabarrus family and a naval captain, who added his name "Mallet" to the property, thus establishing it as Château Sociando-Mallet.
