Ortega is a Spanish surname, deriving from a lineage of old royalty, originating in the Carrion of the Counts, steming from the daughter of Ramiro II, Ortega Ramirez.

Some of the Ortega spelling variants are: de Ortega, Ortegada, Ortegal, Hortega, Ortiga, Ortigueda, Ortigueira, Ortigosa, Orreaga, etc. A cognate surname in Italian is Ortica, in Romanian Urzică, in French Ortie, all from Latin urtica.

Origin

Roberto Faure, coauthor of the "Diccionario de Apellidos Españoles", states that Ortega is derived from the noun "ortega", an old dialectical variant of the Castilian Spanish "ortiga", a word applied to distinct species of wild urticae. The name of the plant is found as a toponym in various places in Spain, such as Ortega (Burgos), Ortega (Jaén) or Ortega (Monfero, La Coruña).

According to the Diccionario de Heráldica Aragonesa by Bizén d'O Río Martínez, there were two lines of Ortegas, attested in two different coats of arms, both lines settling in the Cinco Villas.

Italian-Mexican author Dr. Gutierre Tibón advanced the study that the name derives from Ortún or Fortúna, from the Latin name Fortunius with an added suffix -eca, meaning Fortunate.

Coat of Arms

The Ortega coat of arms consists of two gold fleur de lis in a blue background (not tied to the French Monarchy), two black wheels in gold background, and 8 black ermine marks in a white background (not tied to Brittany). The timber of the shield is marked by a helmet with three ostrich feathers and a armored arm holding a sword, above a Crown of the Count. The same Coat of Arms can be found by the Spanish Ortegas who moved to México, whose Coat of Arms has been added to numerous other families. These Ortegas are known as the Counts of Santa Marta of Ortigueira and Monterroso, and The Valley of Oploca and El Peñasco.
