Hi very distant relative. From what I understand, there are Portuguese Ornelas, and Spanish Ornelas. But from what I understand and after have done a lot of research, I believe it comes from Galicia (Spain), just north of the Portuguese border. That's why they're both countryman which the same last name. Regards.
