Kareaga


Kareaga

Interpretation
Kareaga comes from kare (lime) and aga (place) so it could be limy place.

History and Locality
There are caserios with this name in various places. Those closest to the area of your family are Markina-Xemein and again Murelaga for which we continue with our hypothesis that your family is from Murelaga. In 1704, a Catalina Kareaga lived in the caserio Kareaga (barrio of Murelaga), in 1745 a Juan Kareaga (in this census they denominated by barrio (barrio of Ibarrola y Zetokiz)), in 1796, Juan and Francisca Kareaga (the barrio was denominated as Cofradia de Zetokiz). Although in the barrio of Narea lived another Juan Kareaga, the censuses indicate that he is the owner of the house so both Juan Kareagas could be the same person.

Coat of Arms
De oro con un arbol de sinople y dos lobos de sable atravesados a su tronco. Bordura jaquelada de plata y gules, en dos ordenes.

Hello,
I am from the Careaga Family of Chandler Arizona. I think my great grandfather was from California. We do have Careaga family in California so I am sure I am related to some of you. If anyone is still inquiring about a consistant coat of arms, I see the red stipe the most.

Hi, my name is Carlos Cortez Carriaga from the Philippines but now lives in Phoenix, Arizona. I am a consultant with doctorate in civil engineering. I do not know much about my grandfather, because he was gone long before I came into being. I was told he is a 'castila' or spanish because of his features. I do not know if he came from Spain since we have so much spanish heritage in our culture. I was wondering if I have relatives everywhere by virtue of my family name CARRIAGA. I would like to trace my ancestry and correspond to anybody who might be looking for answers to gaps of information in his/her existence.

My name is Fernando B. Careaga from Dallas, Texas. I was born in Mexico, but grew-up in the United States. I have been trying to find the origin of the last name Careaga. I would like to correspond with other Careaga families in Mexico and find out if we come from the same family tree. Soy bilingue, Espanol/Ingles.

my surname is cariaga but maybe it could have been kareaga or careaga. It's nice to know that there are lots of people in mexico, spain, california, midwest, with the same surname. In my opinion, it is quite rare compared to other common basque surnames.

i would like to see how the family crest looks like!
now i live in norway, and i am the only person with this surname in this part of the world!

Hi all,
Kareaga means "Calero" (Factory of lime). There are several places with this name because in ancient times it was very important product for construction and the raw materials (lime and oal) are very common in basque country. You can find two streets in Basauri (Bizkaia) with the name Kareaga goikoa and Kareaga beheekoa. And several "Karaga"s close to some baserrias (like in Urkiola).
Regards

My name is Carlos Careaga and I live in Long Beach CA, USA. I am researching the Careaga family crest/coat of arms and have yet to find a consistent version of it. I have read complicated versions as noted on this site and have seen very simple versions on others. I understand that family crest/coat of arms evolve, but can anyone find a recurring theme in the Careaga / Kareaga coat of arms?

Thanks.

The rest of the family lives in Mexico in the state of Tamaulipas border with South Texas, he has two living brothers and one sister their names are: Guillermina Erendira Careaga Aguirre who is a nurse, Mario Alberto Careaga Aguirre who is a Phisician, and Arturo Careaga who is a Teacher.The two other brothers that die several years ago were: Ricardo Manuel Careaga Aguirre who was a Chemestry Teacher and Rafael Careaga Aguirre who worked in the Oil filed. My husband is a Science Music Major, his major instrument is piano besides being a Pastor for the United Methodist Church with a Hispanic congregation. We both are from Mexico. My husband tells me about his heritage that three persons came directly from Spain to Mexico one was a Priest, the other was a Bridge Builder and the other was a person who works with metal. My husband's father was Rafael Careaga Mendoza who died in 1988 and his mother Erendira Aguirre de Careaga who died in 1983. So there you have some info.
Thanks for the web-site very intresting.
