Originating during the Visigothic era of Spanish history, the proud and noble Velez surname is first recorded in Castile, though other researchers say Cantabria. While the origin is disputed, it may derive from the Basque word that means "raven". Alternately, it may also derive from Roman roots in the Latin word "vigilia", meaning "a watchman" or "someone who keeps vigilant".
