Montanya name origin please?

Anyone know where the surname Montanya originates from? Is it spanish?

Montanya name origin please?
Is it Montana or Montanya? If it is Montana, it would be a spanish word for mountain.
Reply:Spanish has 2 different sounds for N:


When you see 'n': It sounds similar to an english N


When you see '帽': it is pronounce nya (you can feel the ya!)





The Spanish for mountain is:


Monta帽a





You name is Montanya, if you pronounce the 帽 you get your name.





Voila, there is the long winded explanation of your last name !
