Meaning and background
The story behind Valladares
Valladares is a Galician surname represented in Castilian spelling. The dictionary relates it to Valadares and to places in Galicia whose names derive from a word for a boundary wall or ditch. That word is traced further to Latin fence or barrier terminology. The surname thus points to settlement names and built landscape features, rather than requiring a literal description of a modern bearer’s personality or home.
