Saavedra is a Galician surname derived from places named Saavedra in the Ourense and Lugo provinces of Galicia, Spain. Saavedra consists of the Galician words saa, meaning "hall" (which comes from Gothic sals) and vedro, meaning "old". Related surnames include Saabedra, Sabedra, and Savedra. [1]
The names, primarily of East Germanic origin, were used by the Suebi, Goths, Vandals and Burgundians. With the names, the Galicians inherited the Germanic onomastic system; a person used one name (sometimes a nickname or alias), with no surname, occasionally adding a patronymic. More than 1,000 such names have been preserved in local records.
