[gothic-l] Re: Spanish surnames

[denis glenard]

Hi Michael,

Guara in Spain is a "sierra" or mountain range in the province of Huesca, in the Pyrenees, very beautiful and full of tourists in summer : it attracts the sportsy ones with its canyons and rivers. I think it may be one of the places where the Wisigoths found refuge after the arab invasion, together with all the northern spanish mountain range, from Galicia to the Basque country, across Asturias.

Rgds,

Denis GLENARD

  Hello Denis
  As you might have seen from my first post, my surname
  (De Guara) is also of Spanish origin and probably they
  were of Visigothic stock.  But there's little more I
  know of so far.
