Apellido

Morfa

Italiano  English  Portugûes  Deutsch

This surname is very widespread in the peninsula with numerous ancestral houses. By references of historians of the time and others found by Araldis in the city and other private registry files, we could affirm, but not assure, that this shield or another very similar to it, initially appeared from the 11th to the 14th century, particularly in the repopulation of Estella, late 12th century, being one of the families to reside within the city walls. The references of this family seem to be needed more frequently from the XV to the XIX century, especially the events of the government of the Viceroyalty of Peru, being an adviser and collaborator of Don Gaspar de Zúñiga, fifth count of Monterrey. All this seems to coincide with the family memory of some of the members of the Morfa family branch. The study of the family heraldic shield "speaks" to us of those who formed the origin of the M. family, since that was its function, that of manifesting its differential elements to others, since the inclusion of the tower element means that the nobility is solid and old, since only the very rich could afford its construction. The enamels of the weapon of the M proclaim the following values: the Gules is the symbol of strength, power, fervent love for God and neighbor, such is the meaning of this enamel, to which should be added the desire of dominance, courage, audacity, strength and magnanimity, a high percentage of this type of family shield was given by acts of war.
