Origin & History

A surname of debated Basque or pre-Roman Iberian origin, possibly derived from a root meaning 'young' or from a Basque word related to 'bear' ('hartz'). Garcia is historically one of the most common surnames in Spain and Portugal; its high French frequency reflects immigration from Spain and North Africa during the 20th century.
