Medina (surname)

Medina is a common habitational Spanish toponymic surname of Moorish origin.

The surname was derived from several cities and towns of Spain such as Medina del Campo, Medina de Pomar, Medina de Rioseco, Medinaceli, Medina-Sidonia, Medina de las Torres and many others. The use of the term dates back to the Muslim rule of Al Andalus (8th–15th century) and it originates from the Arabic word madīnah (مَدِيْنَة) which means "city". Various Christian families from these localities took it as a surname during the Reconquista and later on. The surname was imported to the Spanish colonies by the conquistadores. Medina is a common surname among Moriscos and Sephardic Jews.
