Gavinhas

Gavinhas is a term that appears in Lusophone contexts with more than one potential reference. In onomastics, Gavinhas is used as a surname of Portuguese origin and occurs in Portugal and Brazil. It is relatively uncommon, and there is no single list of widely recognized notable people with this surname in major reference works. In place-name usage, Gavinhas may appear as a local or historical toponym in rural areas; such occurrences are typically regional and not part of official, widely mapped geographies. The exact meaning and origins of the word can vary by dialect and period, and the term may be found in archival records with different spellings or senses. Because of its ambiguity, the intended sense of Gavinhas should be determined from context—whether the text refers to a person, a place, or a historical document.
