The
coat of arms of the Tovar family of

Tovar, usually preceded by the particle de (meaning from), is a
surname that was adopted in the Middle-Ages by a
Castilian noble house that received the lordship of the village of
Tovar from
Fernando III. It has since spread to several
Spanish and a few
Portuguese branches.
The Tovar surname in the
Americas appears mainly as a toponymic derived from the many
settlements of this name founded there by the
Spanish, and therefore does not share the same
genealogical origin.
