Where the name comes from

  • Spanish
    Son of Gutierre
    Gutierre, a Visigothic personal name
    Patronymic. DAFN: "Spanish (Gutiérrez): patronymic from the medieval personal name Gutierre, from a Visigothic personal name of uncertain form and meaning, perhaps a compound of the elements gunthi ‘battle’ + hairus ‘sword’." The origin of the Spanish -ez patronymic ending is debated: proposals include a Latin genitive, a pre-Roman (Iberian or Basque) suffix, and Latinized Gothic genitives; none is settled.
