in reply to a message by C.Infante
No need to look this one up ...it seems obvious that it means infant or child with many related names in other Romance languages ...

It is a spanish surname. It could have been a nickname for a person whose behaviour was childish.

I was thinking it might have a narrower meaning as a name, heir to an estate perhaps. The feminine form was (is?) a title among the Spanish monarchy, I don't know if the masculine form is.
