Spanish History Places
who knows the history of GARGANTIEL, in Castilla La Mancha Spain?
My family name is actually Gargantiel and i was browsing the net what this means and i found out that it is a place in Spain. It is not surprising since we were once a colony of spain and most family names in our country are Spanish too.
However i want to know what my family name means and the site of that place is written in spanish and i cant understand a single word. I thought maybe if i know the history of the place i would know what it means.
Could somebody help me?
thanks?
maybe you could find something on one of these Genealogy sites? they explain last names on some of them
