Riojas Family History
Riojas Name Meaning
Spanish: either a variant of a regional name from the province or
region of La Rioja, or a habitational name from Rioja in Almeria
province. The region is named for the river Oja, which flows through
it; the Spanish word río ‘river’ has become fused with the
river name, which is first recorded in the form Ol(i)a; it may
possibly be derived from Latin folia ‘leaves’.
