      The name Asturias originates from Spanish and is derived from the region of Asturias, Spain. Asturias, a province located on the northern coast of the Iberian Peninsula, has a rich history dating back to ancient times. The region was originally inhabited by the Celtic tribes, and later became a part of the Roman Empire. Its name reflects the cultural and historical significance it holds throughout the centuries.

      Asturias has played a prominent role in the history of Spain. It was an important stronghold during the Reconquista, a centuries-long period of Christian reconquest of the Iberian Peninsula from the Muslim Moors. The fierce warriors from Asturias were instrumental in pushing back the Muslim forces and initiating the process of Christian reconquest, leading to the foundation of the Kingdom of Asturias in the 8th century.
