[gothic-l] Spanish surnames

[Denis Glenard]

Hi, I'm new in this group, interested in the links between the Goths
and their heritage in the Spanish peninsula.

There is a question going on in a Spanish genealogy group about the
origin of the surname ALVARADO.

The conventional wisdom is that it is derived from Alfraed, latinized
as Alvaradus, then into Alvarado and it originates in the Gothic
kingdom of Spain. Is there any recorded trace to substantiate this
explanation ? Is it linked to Alvaro and Alvarez ?

Thanks for your insights.

Happy new year to all,

Denis GLENARD
