What does Noronha mean?
- Noronha
- Noronha is a family name that is found among some aristocratic families in Portugal. The Noronha family name traces its origins to Portugal. It is found mainly in areas such as Brazil, India, Mozambique, Angola and Macau that were colonized by the Portuguese. This family has its origins in the marriage of Alfonso Enríquez, Count of Gijón and Noreña (natural son of King Henry II of Castile) with Isabel of Portugal (natural daughter of King Ferdinand I of Portugal). Their marriage was one of the clauses of the Treaty of Santarém signed in 1373, between the two peninsular kingdoms. Alfonso was Count of Noreña, an Asturian village he had received from his father, and his children used the Portuguese spelling Noronha as their family name.
