[Facts] Urraca
The female name Urraca / Urracca has been used during the Middle Ages, mainly in Spain. I'm looking for its meaning... any idea?

I´ve found a new meaning for Urraca: it comes from latin "furax": thief, because the magpie uses to steal the eggs from other nests.

I already asked that ages ago, along with several other names. Devonelisa (who's sadly MIA, and has been for some time now :-() answered: http://snipurl.com/8imh.

Urraca has germanic origin (comes from "uro") and defines the magpie.
There's a cartoon known as "Something magpies" where the magpies are called Heckle and Jeckle. In Spanish, we know them as Tuco and Tico, and the cartoon is "Las urracas parlanchinas" (The chatterbox [or talkative]magpies). EG.
