GARRA -I'm guessing English but it could be Irish, too. I know the name is found among Spaniards, too. It's not the same as "guerra" = war, but the spelling is the same (GARRA). This may be one of those names that appears in different places with no outside influence. It seems certain that it is. I would bet on English for you, particularly if you have backup evidence.
