Meaning and background
The story behind Mosquera
Mosquera has Spanish and Catalan surname histories connected with place and landscape. The Spanish topographic explanation refers to a place with many flies or mosquitoes, using a derivative of mosca, fly. Catalan Mosquera identifies someone from one of the places so named in Catalonia, Valencia, or Andorra. The same spelling can therefore preserve either a descriptive local setting or a particular settlement rather than a flattering personal quality.
- Origin
- Spanish topographic surname involving flies or mosquitoes; Catalan habitational surname from places called Mosquera. Source
