What country does my last name "Encinias" originate from?
It appears that the name Encinias (a version of Encinas, with a tilde over the n) is of Galician origin, in Northern Spain.

has 78 of them with that exact spelling, one in Bolivia, some in Mexico, many in New Mexico. Galacia used to be a separate kingdom from Spain, a bit like Scotland and England, or maybe Wessex and Kent.
