Best Answer

The name Govea, although found throughout many Hispanic populations, is actually Portugese in origin. It is derived from the name of the town of Gouveia in Portugal, and the first record of a person with the surname Govea is one Fernao Nunes De Gouveia who lived during the reign of the Portugese King Joao I in the 14th century. It is likely that some of the De Gouveia's migrated into Spain, and also likely that some of those traveled to the Americas with the Spanish, if they were not already established as Spaniards by this time.
