Garcia is Spanish in Origin.
Garcia is a masculine given name of Iberian - probably Basque - origin. Most scholars trace it to Basque gazte/gaztea “young,” appearing in early records as Gartzia/Garcia; a minority link it to Basque hartz “bear” with a descriptive suffix. The name spread across the medieval kingdoms of Navarre, Castile, and León, later becoming the most frequent Spanish surname, though it began as a personal name.
Medieval rulers and nobles bore it - García Íñiguez and García Ramírez of Navarre, García I of León, and the Castilian count García Fernández - while in Portugal the form was also current (cf. physician Garcia de Orta). Variants and spellings include García (accented), Garzia, Gartzia, Garsea (Latinized), and the truncated Garci; related patronymics are Garcés and Garcez. Today Garcia is widely recognized as a surname worldwide and used only occasionally as a given name, especially in Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking families.
