Soarez Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
It means "Swine Guard's son", "son of the south army" or "the one with that has red hair."
Soares is classified as a patronymic surname with Portuguese and Spanish origins, being based on Soeiro (first name), which in turn comes from the Latin suarius, meaning "pig shepherd".
In the Middle Ages, especially in Portugal, the pig farming was a very important activity, and the economic power of households were quantified by the number of pigs raised.
Another likely source is based on the ancient Germanic word sug-hari, which literally means "southern army."
There is yet another theory explaining the emergence of this surname in English lands. Soares wouldd have originated from the old French word sor'chestnut, which means "red hair".
