Surname

Corral

 

Celia Corral Noguera · 11 abril 2018 16:05


Meaning of the surname
My surname "Corral" comes from the past. It is from Cantabria. A knight who worked for the Sir of Cantabria fought against a moor in a barnyard. The knight won and he took the moor's head to the Sir. To congratulate him, the Sir gave him the surname "Corral", the place where he fought and won. The Sir also gave the knight a castle.

Meaning of the coat of arms
My coat of arms has got four different colours: grey, black, yellow and red. The castle is there because the knight who had the surname was the owner. The colour grey means hope, the colour red means dare, colour black means wisdom and colour yellow (of the castle) means chivalrous.

Malena Salas Pazos · 26 marzo 2018 21:00


Meaning of the surname
The last name Salas comes from the old Germanic name "salla", which means room, living room, in reference to the name of a building or its dependencies. The last name Salas was, from its origins, very widespread throughout the Peninsula, because it is a surname with a great antiquity.

Meaning of the coat of arms
The origin of the coat of arms of Salas is Asturias. I have not found anything about why the shield was made like this.

I think that the blue lines of the shield represent the "Rio Neira", the shells, the sea (because the surname comes from Gallaecia) and the green background, represents the prairies of the old Gallaecia.
