Meaning and origin of the Maceda last name
Meaning of the Maceda last name: an apple-orchard place name. Maceda is a Portuguese and Galician habitational surname associated with places in Aveiro and several Galician provinces. The place name combines the regional word for an apple with a collective ending, describing an orchard. The last name therefore points toward a locality rather than proving an ancestor's occupation.
