Herreras Coat of Arms and Surname Origin

Herreras is an established spelling of the Spanish surname Herrera. Taken at its root, Herreras points to “Forge, ironworks”. Herreras adds “s” to Herrera, a small change that appeared as the name was written down. Spellings drifted because names were written down by ear in parish books, tax rolls and passenger lists.

The same family of names includes Herrero and Ferrera.

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Herreras, so the heraldry linked to Herrera is a starting point, not an automatic right. Want more than a summary? See the Herreras family name pack.
