Hello, I'm looking for any information on the origins/meaning of surname; "MANZANARES"
MANZANARES (Spanish) The definition says "collectives" and then the name. I'm not sure what that means unless it is a group of people who have this name? Anyway, it comes from the Spanish name MANZANO, a topographic name for someone who lived by an apple tree or orchard, from the Sp. "manzano" (apple tree). The word originated from a type of apple tree named in honor of the 1st century BC horticultural writer Gaius Matius. ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.
