..of or relating to salt mines. Most likely, salt mine workers or people living in areas where salt mining occurred. Allegedly, Salinas is a Sephardic Jewish name from Spain. Salinas were Jews living in Spain who were forced to convert to Catholicism in the 1500s. A branch of the Salinas migrated to Turkey while others to France and of course, eventually to Mexico.
