Archives♦ Surname da Gama ♦
Does anyone have any info on the surname da Gama? I believe it's Portuguese. Thanks in advance!

Locative. The Oxford Dictionary of Surnames has an entry for Gama, which it says is from a place near Santander, Spain. Da Gama is Portuguese, so it's either a name brought in from Spain or there is also a Portuguese place-name Gama.
