Chillar

Chillar is a toponym and surname used in Spanish-speaking regions. The most widely cited reference is Río Chillar, a river in Málaga province in southern Spain. The river rises in the nearby mountains and flows toward the Mediterranean, passing through the Nerja area before reaching the sea along the Costa del Sol. The lower valley around the river is a destination for outdoor recreation, with activities such as hiking and river-walking commonly pursued in suitable seasons.

In addition to the river, the name Chillar appears as a surname and in various local place names in Spanish-speaking areas. As a surname, it is found among families in Spain and in Latin American countries and may appear in historical and contemporary records. In some contexts, the term may be encountered in discussions of regional geography or local heritage where Spanish toponymy is involved.
