Origins
The surname Ontiveros is of Spanish origin and is believed to be a locational surname derived from the word "ontivera," meaning "place of wild olive trees" or "place of the olive grove." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname may have come from a place abundant in olive trees. Additionally, some sources suggest that the name may derive from the Basque word "ote" or "ota," meaning "stock" or "vine," combined with the Latin word "verus," meaning "true" or "genuine." This combination could imply a place associated with vineyards or genuine vines. The surname is relatively common in Spanish-speaking countries, particularly in Spain and México.
