Family Name / Last Name: Libera
No. of characters: 6
Origin: Italy
Meaning: It is in the Marne as the name has always been the most common (at least since the seventeenth century). The dictionary M.-T. Morlet, which curiously is it in Britain, sees the nickname of a cantor (from the Our Father: "Libera nos a malo"). Note, however, that many hamlets and localities are called the "Libera", a term which I have not found the precise meaning but may designate land or timber whose inhabitants have free use. One can also think of the old names and Frees Libérat. The family name is also worn Libera Italy (province of Sondrio, in the northern Lombardy), where it is likely matronymic matching Libero, a name encountered especially in the province of Padua (probably medieval personal name formed on "libero" = free). There is finally a lot of Libera in Poland again, one can think of the word "free" (Latin "liber"), even if the German Lieber (German "lieb" = expensive, loved) is possible.
