I think it means it was misspelled. I'm curious where you encountered it.

As neither Google, the US phone book, nor the largest genealogy databases return a single hit for the name, it's unlikely that it exists in the US or western Europe.

To continue, more info is needed. Please email me if I can help.

It would help a lot to know what part of the world?
I checked 3 places.. rootsweb family files, social secuity death index, and google. And came up with nothing, anywhere.
One line I worked was Fullingim. It showed up in US records about 1850, and several people figured it must mean he was the immigrant ancestor. Not so. I stumbled onto Fillingims in the same locality, and it slapped me up side the head, that Fullingim was originally Fillingim and got "changed" about that time. Next? With lots of research, we found Fillingim people actually descend from the name Fillingham. There is a village of that name in England, and the current stuff says the ancient ancestor got his name FROM the village.
Moral of the story... not every name has ANY meaning at all. Name patterns and reasons are different in the world... and some names are simply glitches on an original.
Ignacio needs to work his lineage back to a given country, and work from that. It could be that it isn't the original name at all.
