My family name, Estévez, comes from Galicia, to be exact from Quiroga Valley, in the province of Lugo. Now, we can found this name in another parts of Spain (Granada, for instance), and even in Argentina and another ncountries, in South America.
I couldn't find another Herminia Estevez on the Web!. There are two references there, but related to me (a book I translated from English to Spanish and a remark about a course of cooking I took part some years ago). But, apart from this, you can't find anything. I feel the only one of my sort!

Hello Herminia,

Thanks for sharing the history of your name on the noticeboard. It's very interesting to read. It sounds like you have a very unusual name if you can't find another on the web!

Hello Herminia,
I want to make some comments about your first name. In greek language "Herminia" means something between "explanation" and "interpretation". It is sound as its origin comes from God Hermis.

Thanks angelos, for your comment about the meaning of Herminia. I didn't know anything about its first origin, but it seems very probable this relation with Hermis. I like it.

Hi Heminia, I am learning many things about you.I didn't Know you came from Galicia, or that your name cames from god's Hermes. It means that
Hermes is said to have invented the lyre. He found, one day, a tortoise, of which he took the shell, made holes in the opposite edges of it, and drew cords of linen through them, and the instrument was complete. The cords were nine, in honor of the nine Muses. Hermes gave the lyre to Apollo, and received from him in exchange the caduceus.
See you on mondey.
Carles.

Hello, Carles, what a wonderful story, about the way god Hermes made a lyre. It's really nice, and I didn't know. Perhaps, Hermes pass me on besides my name the passion for the music, passion that I feel from my tender childhood. Thanks a lot for your information. See you tomorrow.
