Surname Cambra: orgins
Hello, my maiden name is Cambra. Both my grandparents were born in Ontinyent or Onteniente, in the region of Valencia, Spain, there are quite a few Cambras there but not, to my knowledge, anywhere else in Spain.Is this where the name comes from?I believe Cambra may be a "converso" name, as aremany in Valencia, a name adopted by either Jewish or Muslim families forced to convert to Christianity (or rather Catholicism) or face exile.It means chamber in Catalan, but you probably already knew that.Happy to talk or hablar
