Is Ocegueda a name from Portugal?

Answer 1

The name 'Ocegueda' may be a name from Portugal or from Spain. That's especially the case all along the Portuguese-Spanish border. Specifically, it's back and forth across Portugal's border with the extreme southwestern Spanish province of Galicia that one family's name may be found among Spanish, Portuguese and Galician speakers or in Spanish, Portuguese and Galician forms.

For example, the way in which the name 'Ocegueda' is spelled tends to be considered a local or regional variant on the Spanish feminine noun 'cequera' for 'blindness'. But the word in Portuguese is similar: 'cegueira'.
