Help[Surname] Re: origin of the name Ornelas
in reply to a message by vincent
you have the same IP address as Isabel Ornelas, so are you her husband or brother or something alike? Or are you playing a game here?
About Ornelas:
Ornelas means 'son of Ornelo'. Ornelo is a variant of Ornello, with the female variant Ornella. The meaning of Ornello is 'flowering ash tree'.
The following link is about that firstname:

P.S. There is a San Ornel(l)o, thus a saint, but i couldn;t find a patron saint in the database of Catholic patron saints at www.catholic-forum.com

According to the spanish dictionary of surnames of Gutierre Tibon this surname should come from a name of a place "Ornelas" it is a town or a village near LUGO (Spain).
The italian first name Ornella has been invented recently by Gabriele D'Annunzio, so I am not sure that Ornelas cold come from this name.
Anyhow Ornelas or Ornellas exists mainly in Spain and South America, in Portugal it is extremely rare.

if Ornella is invented, howcome there is a San Ornello and even a namesday after a saint called like that? Saints just don't pop up. Most of them are ages old.

sorry a mistake...(m)
there is no nameday for Ornello, but there is a saint Ornel(l)o and, especially in Italy there are many surnames like Ornelli, Oranelli and Orneli, all suggesting 'son of Ornello' or Oranello and Ornelo and those are also firstnames if u search on them at Google.com. Thus, i don't think Oranello is a new recent name. About those villages called Ornelas, they either refer to the first inhabitant of the village or to 'flowering ash trees' in the area. So the meaning is the same overall. The origin is still inconclusive.
