Meaning & History
Possibly means "fighter" or "the brightest" in Guanche. This name was borne by a mencey (leader) of the menceycato (kingdom) of Adeje, in the island of Tenerife, at the time of the conquest of the island in the 15th century. However, modern historians claim that this name was invented by Spanish poet Antonio de Viana for his poem La Conquista de Tenerife.
