About

Nieves, the Spanish plural form of nieve, is a matronymic surname and female given name derived from the title of the Virgin Mary Nuestra Señora de las Nieves, a reference to the 4th-century Catholic miracle of a summertime snowfall on the Esquiline Hill in Rome, where the Basilica Sanctae Mariae ad Nives was built. Descended from the Asturleonese language in northwestern Spain, the surname is most common in the Hispanosphere. In Spain, it is most prevalent in Andalusia, Madrid, Canary Islands, and Galicia. In Hispanic America, it is most prevalent in Mexico, Venezuela, Colombia, and particularly Puerto Rico, where it is most densely concentrated. It has also been introduced into the United States.
