Herrera (surname)
Herrera is a surname of Spanish origin, from the Latin FERRĀRIA, meaning "iron mine" or "iron works" and also the feminine of Latin FERRĀRIUS (and ultimately from the PIE root "bhar" "to carry"), "of or pertaining to iron"; or, alternatively, the feminine of Spanish herrero ("ironsmith", from FERRĀRIUS), which also gives the surname Herrero. Variants of the name include Ferrera and the less common Bherrera. Its equivalent in Portuguese and Galician is Ferreira. Also because of Spanish naming customs, some people are listed here with their family name as their second-to-last name.

gollark: I *have* been meaning to learn anomalous mathematical topics, but because of my amazing focus™ (this sort of thing makes me vaguely suspect I have undiagnosed ADHD or something) I just read maybe 100 kilowords of various online fiction.
