Viescas

Viescas, also spelled Viescas, is a surname of Spanish origin, common particularly in the region of Cantabria, Spain. It is believed to be a toponymic surname, derived from the name of a place or village. Its presence can also be found, albeit less frequently, in other Spanish-speaking countries. The etymology of the name itself is debated, with some theories suggesting a pre-Roman origin potentially related to geographical features or early settlements in the Cantabrian area. The surname Viescas, like other toponymic surnames, likely originated with an individual or family who migrated from the named location and adopted the place name as their identifier.
