Vieira is aPortuguese andGalician term which in Portuguese and Galician stands for the Great Pilgrim Mussel from thescallop family (Pectinidae).[1][2] The term leads to its use as aplace andfamily name.[1]

History

[edit]

The use of the term can be traced to the beginning of the 13th century in northwestern Portugal.[1] The historical written form of the termVieira wasVyeyra. It is assumed that the usage as a name originated independently in different places (e.g.Vieira do Minho andVieira de Leiria).[1] As a surname, the term is first found in northwestern Portugal in the province of Minho in the era of Kings D. Afonso II and D. Sancho II of Portugal around 1220 A.D.[1]

The historically common spelling Vyeyra is found at least until the end of the Middle Ages in the mid-16th century.[3] The modernPortuguese alphabet does not recognise the letter Y. At least until the end of the Middle Ages, the use of the letter Y was common in Portuguese written language, as illustrated, for example, by the following text from the 16th century:

... toda junta a quinze dyas de aguosto hou se o tempo que lhe pareçese bem he menos pryguo se espera se lhe fezese faroll da sua naao he pelo pomto do seu pyloto vyese demandar guoa he ele com hos guoleons que fiquavam hatravesase a jmdea pare-. ceu a todos bem he cheguado a naao do fejtor perto do gualeom do gouernador foy hele la em hũ esquyfe a quem deu ho Regymento da maneyra que comprya mais a servyço d ell rej noso senhor he alem deste mandado ha que as fustas provese dese fresquo ho mais que lhe fose necesaryo a quall despedyo de sy ho mesmo dya ja noyte he sy a nau de jorge vyeyra merquador em que levaram consyguo da jmdea quareguada de manty- mentos ha armada com lycença ha hurmuz he hũs na vollta da serra he outros na vollta do mar desapareçerom ...[4]

Regarding the termVieira, the writing with the letter I (i) instead of the Y (y) has become established. However, the term written asVyeyra is still frequently found today using the letter Y (y), in names such asVieyra,[5] Vyeira[6] and Vyeyra.[7]
