Origins

La denominación actual, procede del nombre del caballero que repobló el lugar, entre 1028 y 1035, un personaje vasco-navarro llamado, Ximeno Azenares​ y que al castro sobre el que se asentaba el pueblo, le añadió su nombre de pila, pasando a ser en esa época de la Baja Edad Media y hasta principios del siglo XIX Castro Ximeno o Castroximeno dependiendo de quién lo escriba, en 1829 aparece ya como Castro Jimeno y posteriormente y hasta la actualidad Castrojimeno.

La pronunciación en castellano medieval es como actualmente se pronuncia la «X» pasando a pronunciarse como «J» en el castellano medio, y posteriormente a finales del siglo XVIII pasa a escribirse «J» como actualmente se escribe y pronuncia en castellano moderno.

History

Está situado en lo alto de una peña caliza, y rodeado por dos regueros, el de la Hoceca y el del Arroyo que le dan forma de quilla de barco, uniéndose en el reguero de la Hoz, que abastece al Río Duratón.
