Meaning and background
The story behind Morera
Morera has a mulberry-tree connection in Spanish and Catalan surname history. The dictionary identifies places called Morera or La Morera, including locations in Badajoz and Catalonia, named with the local word for mulberry tree. The account is consequently geographical and botanical at once. A garden-inspired dog name can draw on that tree image while retaining the surname’s link to particular named places.
- Origin
- Spanish and Catalan habitational surname from Morera places named with mulberry-tree vocabulary. Source
