Is Ocegueda a name from Portugal?

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'.


What is the difference between the Portuguese language and the Spanish language?

Your question is the same as to ask if french and Italian are the same language. No they are not. They originated from one common language, latin, which also gave birth to french, Italian and romanian.Portuguese does share a lot of similarities with Spanish. But many don't know that Portuguese was born way before Spanish, Galician and Portuguese at one point were the same language but separated due to political reasons long ago. Since then, the languages have been growing apart.Galician-Portuguese was born in northern Spain and what is today Portugal. To this day, Galician is the closest language to Portuguese, but spelling is more similar to the spanish counter-part.Portuguese phonetically is closer to Catalan or French due to Celtic influences, something spanish does not have, and Spanish was more romanized phonetically like Italian.Brazilians speak Portuguese, which is a completely different language from Spanish.

What is the meaning of apoteosar in Portuguese?

Didn't find that word, but "apoteose" from Portuguese translates to "apoteosis" in Spanish, which translates to "apotheosis," "exaltation," or "finale." If verbs conjugate in Portuguese the same way as in Spanish, the verb form of apoteose might be apoteosar, which could then mean to exalt/glorify, to hail. try www.wordreference.com hope that helps
