Valencia Family History
Valencia Name Meaning
Catalan (València) and Spanish: habitational name from
any of various places called València or Valencia, principally the
major city in eastern Spain, which was formerly the capital of an
independent Moorish kingdom of the same name, until it was reconquered
in 1239 by James I, king of the Catalan dynasty, and became part of
the Crown of Aragon together with the Principality of Catalonia and
the Kingdom of Aragon. The city was apparently named from an honorary
title derived from Latin valens ‘brave’.
