What a fascinating history! Devon, thanks for sharing.
I guess the -agua part means water (agua, aqua), then. Veragua... hmm... I like it!

You're right :o) vera (bank) + agua (water). I can't remember which breed of bulls it is but one of them was strengthened or hybridised with Varagua's. Breeds are very important in Spain and SA and I grew up with a bloody (literally LOL) painting of a matador hanging in the dining room so I *should* remember...maybe someone else will have a clue though - I'm drawing a blank.
