Covarrubias is a surname in the Spanish language. It is a surname that indicates place of origin, in particular, in the village and municipality of Covarrubias (province of Burgos, Spain), village that was founded in the 7th century by the visigothic king Chindasuinth. It is compounded of the words ''cova'' (cave),〔(RAE Dictionary: «Cueva», )〕 ''ruber'' (red)〔(RAE Dictionary: «Rubor». )〕 and the suffix ''ia'' (that has the quality of),〔(l'Enciclopèdia Diccionari (Catalan Dictionary), "-Ia" )〕 meaning "the cave that is red" or simply "red cave".〔(Mis apellidos.com, "Covarrubias" )〕 ==Coat of arms== The familiar coat of arms of this surname was described in 1592 by A. Sales, accordingly to the "Book of Armoria".〔(Libro de Armoria, Heráldica del apellido Covarrubias )〕 This description is for a coat of arms of a Covarrubias family that, in two generations, was to live from the village of Covarrubias to the village of Cocentaina (Province of Alicante, Spain). In fact, the possible first user of this coat of arms was Mr. Diego de Covarrubias Sanz, born in Cocentaina, who in 1590 had to report his family tree in order to be joined to the Spanish Inquisition. The grandfather of Diego, ''Hernando de Cobarrubias'', was born in the village of Covarrubias.〔(Document in the Library of the Royal Academy of History of Spain (in spanish). )〕 Therefore, Mr. Diego, who used this coat of arms, was the first Covarrubias born in Cocentaina, and his coat of arms can be used by his progeny. In accordance with the "Book of Armoria", the coat of arms of this branch of the Covarrubias settled in Cocentaina consists in a quartered Spanish shield, of the following characteristics and tinctures: * 1st field: Azure (blue), with five stars in azure * 2nd field: Or (gold), with four fess (bands) in gules (red) * 3rd field: Argent (silver), and a fess in sable (black) * 4th field: Azure, and a cross in argent 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Covarrubias (surname)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
