Macias surname meaning

Macías is a Spanish patronymic surname formed from the personal name Macías, a Spanish form related to Matías. Matías ultimately comes from a Hebrew name commonly interpreted as “gift of God.” The surname therefore preserves a given-name connection rather than naming a single village or occupation. Macías, Macias, and regional forms such as Macià reflect accents and language. Parent’s name is the high-confidence catalog type because the personal-name source is clear, even though different Macías families could have acquired the surname independently.
