you know those are all new christian names dont you ? except for ferreira all those names that are from nature are new christian (former jews that were obligated by the crown to be converted to christianity most of them were obligated to keep doing jewish stuff in secret). Some of them fled to brazil, and built some small churches to read the torah in secret.
our names don't mean anything.
>tfw you're a Smith
might as well not even have a surname desu senpai
Unfortunately most surnames in Catalonia are already of Spanish origin (mostly due to immigration), so I'll post only some common true Catalan surnames:
>Vila
Village
>Vidal
Vital
>Martí
Martin
>Ferrer
Smith
>Soler
Solarium
>Puig
Hill
>Pujol
Hill (There are a lot of hills in Catalonia)
>Font
Fountain
>Rovira
Oak grove
>Pons
Derived from Pontius (like in Pontius Pilate), I think it meant something like "fifth son".
>Bosch
Forest
you're retarded if you think people back then had surnames like the nobles.Most of them adopted surnames just because they didn't have anything at all.
Nobles would get names like Fernandes,nunes,rodrigues,etc while plebs would get names like carvalho,figueira,etc.
The jews adopted anything to fit in...Wasn't enough tho..
>Peeters
Son of Peter
>De Clercq
The clark
>De Vos
the fox
>De Smedt
The blacksmith
>De Backer
The baker
>De Jaeger
the hunter
>Vandamme
From the village of Damme
>Vandenberghe
From the mountain
>Vandevelde
from the fields
>Verstraete
from the street
Note that our names have 5+ different ways of spelling variations. Vandevelde/Van De Velde/Vande Velde/Vandervelde/Van Der Velde/...
>Bosch
But user that's a Dutch name. We have a lot of people who are named Vandenbossche for instance
Goth heritage ain't free ;)
Many Catalan names, toponymics and surnames are of Germanic origin.
If you are around Catalonia and you want to know the meaning of the name of an old town, the best thing you can do is grab a German dictionary and look for similar words.
There are also some interesting cognates, like
fang (mud) > veen (peat, bog). Both come from the gothic "fani".
We also do not say "cuchillo" or "couteau" like in Spanish and French for "knife". We say "ganivet" which has the same root as "knife" (Proto-germanic " knibaz ")

>Lopes
Son of wolf
I see, thanks.
Our word for knife is 'mes', just like in German. Skandi's say kniv iirc
For instance, this place, in conjuction with Septimania was called the "Marquisate of Gothia", and also was called "Gothalaunia" (a latinization of "Gotland"), which ended up transforming in our actual name.
That's a "Catalan". Immigrant trash.
Too many of them, being honest.
Her accent sucks and the lyrics are HORRIBLY written.
Plus she does not look like a Catalan -.-
Well the more you know. I had read that 'Catalonia', just like Castille, came from the large amount of castles they built to protect themselves from the muslims
Literally all the same in galician except silva that means blackberry.
> I had read that 'Catalonia', just like Castille, came from the large amount of castles they built to protect themselves from the muslims
It's just not true. And I think that the explanation I provided is quite easy to believe. It just make sense, since the things that I made reference to are historical facts.
I'm not an independentist, but many anti-catalan spaniards constantly try to hide our history. Catalonia (or the counties and marquisates that the territory encompassed), followed a very different path than that of the Spanish kingdoms.
For example, our lands were reconquered much faster, and we and the north of Aragon were part of the Frankish Empire.
That guy is probably a true Catalan, at least half of him. (judging his looks and his surname).
But he is still a piece of shit :)
And the lyrics, oh my god... he does not know his own language...
He looks Polish-Jewish.
Catalan Pronunciation is very similar to Portuguese for some reason. Way more similar than castillan to be honest
>smith
a smith
>thatcher
someone who thatches
>baker
a baker
>taylor
a tailor
>johnson
john's son
>jackson
jack's son
>schumaker

hmmm
>De Smedt
>De Backer
>Janssens
>Deschoenmaecker
hmm
A lot of immigrants from Germanic countries had their names "Americanized".
We have 8 vowels, dark L's, different features than castillian.. Yeah, it's not the first time I've heard that.
Some Catalans look like Ashkenazi jews, you are right.
A friend of mine said it's because Castillan was cucked by Basque language while Catalonian and Portuguese were not.
Except most of the most common surnames in America are of English origin
>hunterhorn
