Where does the name Escamilla come from?

Escamilla is a Spanish surname that originated in the Cantabria region of northern Spain. It is believed to be derived from the Basque word "eska," meaning "small," and "milla," meaning "apple," and likely referred to a place where small apples grew.

According to other sources, it is derived from the Basque words "etxe" (house) and "aburu" (steam).

The name Escamilla is also found in other parts of the world, including the Americas and Europe, due to the migration of Spanish settlers.
