Heredia (surname)
Heredia is a surname originating in a place-name. One such surname is Basque, derived from the village Heredia in Álava, Basque Country.[1][2] Another form seems be related to a root derived from Old Danish and Old Swedish Erik and Eirikr. It is listed in the Domesday Book of 1086.
Name variations include: Eiric, Eric, Erish, Herrick, Herricke, de Herédia, de Heredia, etc.,[3] as well as some reference to ancient Roman etymology for heredium, singular of Heredia (etymology). An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Heredia arrived in the Americas quite early. The earliest origin is yet to be published.
