ArchivesOrrego and De La Haza
Well my grandfathers second last name was Orrego and I cant find anything on it. Then my grandmothers last name was De La Haza. I heard Haza could be Musilum or Jewish. But why is there a De La infront of it, like Spanish?

Spain was under Arabic rule for quite a long time, so some Spanish names are Arabic in origin, f.ex. Medina, which is derived from the Arabic word for "town".
