Well. I don't have a clue what "Garc=EDa" means in Spanish... (And I sup=
ose
your "Garcia" is from Spanish origin... am I right?)
I know "Carlos" is a Germanic name which means something like "king"... I
know "Karl" in Swedish means "man" which lead me to think if my etimology=
is
wrong... I don't know the meaning of my middle name "Eugenio". My
surenames are "Thompson" and "Pinz=F3n" one from each parent. I suppose
"Thompson" means "son of Thomas" and I have no clue on "Pinz=F3n", but I =
know
it was a vulgar surname in Medieval Spain that became noble when three
sailors so called came with Columbus to America.
