[Surname] Is Queralt not a surname?
The name Queralt is entered in the database as a first name, but I thought it was a last name too. From what I can tell, it is from southern Spain and probably has the same origin as the first name. A quick internet search revealed that it may be Catalan toponym surname made of the elements quer, meaning rock or rocky summit plus alt, meaning above. So, is it just a first name or is it a last name too?
