Luzmy is my first name. It means My Light but backwards....my luz. Although it is supposed to be luzmi.....I like it with a "y". My last name Laparra comes from France. I have no idea how it got to Guatemala....but it's been there for ages. It means The Grapevine.

Laparra
Laparra (and Parra and de la Parra) is a Spanish surname, not French (in French, parra doesn't mean "grapevine"; in Spanish, it does). The presence in France of Laparra is the same that the presence of García or Pérez, migrations. And about the presence in Guatemala, its presence has the same explanation that the presence of any other Spanish surname in Latin America.
