Gareka Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
Toponym, oiconym and Basque surname. According to Patxi Salaberri, he could explain Gareka as devinient of the anthroponym Careius that, in Careica, would determine'The Land, The Place, The Villa, The Hacienda of Careius'. From Careica / Kareika to Gareika, by sonorization of the initial consonant, would be the most immediate step and, undoubtedly, universally accepted. Then, according to different local eloquent customs, it would be concretized in Gareka>Garika > Garaka. Some specialists associate the disinence [- aka] from the Celtic '- acum', becoming '- ac', for those disinences in Basque [- aka], considering simple variants to [eka/ika]. Others, however, consider the latter as derived from the Latin 'icus, ica, icum' but, at the bottom of the question, both languages belong to the same Indo-European linguistic trunk maintaining a close filial relationship. They are sister languages and these disinences, in both, come to mean the same thing (Property, Belonging, Descent).
