<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ladybranch, post: 92478, member: 44&quot;]Cheryl, may have&nbsp; nailed it, &quot;a person rather than a saint&quot; person! Llamas was and is indeed a Spanish surname. Esther Williams married the actor Fernando Lamas. Suspect Lamas is the modern spelling of the same surname. The following website has info on the probable origins of the name. The following link is to an English translation of the Spanish webpage:</p><p><a href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=es&amp;u=http://www.misapellidos.com/significado-de-llamas-000.html&amp;prev=search" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=es&amp;u=http://www.misapellidos.com/significado-de-llamas-000.html&amp;prev=search" rel="nofollow">https://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&amp;sl=es&amp;u=http://www.misapellidos.com/significado-de-llamas-000.html&amp;prev=search</a></p><p><br /></p><p>With that said I have found mention of a Juana de Llamas in the following Wiki... article of <i>Marquess of Corvera</i>. It seems a Rafael Antonio Bustos and Molina, the V Marguis of Corvera, married a Juana de Llamas sometime in the late 1700s. This is too late for the 1704 date, but is evidence that there was at least one ordinary person with the name of Juana de Llamas.</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Rafael Antonio Bustos and Molina,<font size="4"> V Marquis de Corvera</font>, Mr. de Cotillas, Torreblanca and Benandín.</p><ol> <li>He married Jeanne de Llamas and Molina. He was succeeded by his son&quot;</li> </ol><p>Spanish page has the name as:</p><p>Juana de Llamas y Molina</p><p>English translation page has the name as:</p><p>Jeanne de Llamas and Molina.</p><p><br /></p><p>Llamas was her maiden name and Molina married name. To see the name scroll down to the section &quot;History of the Marquis de Corvera&quot; and then down to the &quot;V Marquis.<font size="4">&quot; </font>Link to an English translation of the Wiki...
