Does anyone know the history or family tree for the surname NAVARRA. It is spanish.?

Question

I have googled it but not many sites helpful without paying

Answer 1

It appears the surname is Matese in origin.

The Navarra family held the Maltese title of Count of Bahria.

Answer 2

The name is Spanish, a regional name for someone from Navarre (Sp. Navarra), now divided between Spain and France, but in the Middle Ages an independent Basque kingdom. The name itself may derive from someone who lived on a flat, treeless area of upland. The word Nava is of pre- Roman origin. There are numerous places named with this element, any of which may also have given rise to the surname. Sorry, for not being more helpful.

Answer 4

Navarra
Recorded in the spellings of Navarro, Navaro, Navarijo, Najara, Najera, and de Najera, this is a locational surname. It is esentially Spanish
but may also be French, and is also occasionally British in the surname as Nabarro. However spelt it describes a former resident of the ancient
kingdom of Navarre, now divided between France and Spain. The name means 'the treeless country' or perhaps 'the country above the trees', the
precise meaning being subject to controversy. Locational surnames of this type were given as easy identification when the person concerned moved to
another country, and still apply in the 20th century. Early examples of the surname recording include Juan de Najera, at Villapalacio, San
Sebastian, Spain, on January 27th 1573, Lesaca Najurieta, at Murillo, Navarra, Spain, on Fbruary 26th 1690, Maria Josepha Navarijo at
San Gabriel Arcangel, Mexico, on May 12th 1774, and Jose Marcos Navarra, a witness at San Sebastian on September 19th 1796. Peres
Narariso was christened at Santa Cruz Solebad, Mexico, on October 11th 1797, but even earlier in California, then part of the Spanish
Empire, Soto Navarro was christened at Santa Clara, on October 23rd 1791. The coat of arms has the blazon of a blue field charged with a
white horse trippant. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of
Francisco Navarro, which was dated
January 1st 1510, christened at Madrid Cathedral, Madrid, Spain, during the reign of
King Ferdinand V of Spain, Emperor of Mexico, 1510 - 1516.

Answer 5

Navarra is in Spain put closely associated to the Basque (Nafarroa in Basque). Though a semi-autonomous region, it is not directly connected to Pais Basque (Basque country) like it was in the past. Navarra or Navarre was once an independent state/kingdom, which consisted of the modern province plus the western Pyrenees, the Basque provinces of France and Spain and as far west as northern Burgos.

I'm sure the surname is connected to this province/area of Spain.
