Last name: Pena. Recorded in many spellings including Pena, Pina, Pinilla, Pennetta, and Pennazzi, this is a surname of Roman (Latin) origins, and recorded in many parts of Southern Europe. The derivation is from the word 'penna', from the pre-Christian period, and this decribes either a prominent rock, or in most cases, a fortress or battlements.
It was both a personal and locational name, meaning the son of Garcia, the Portugese form of Gerald. It also meant one who came from Garcia, the name of several places in Portugal and Spain. Local names usually denoted where a man held his land, and indicated where he actually lived.
