Vìes

Vìes is a term that can refer to several different things, primarily a surname and a geographical location.

As a surname, Vìes is of Basque origin. It is thought to derive from the word "bide" which means "path" or "way" in Basque. The name may have originally been a topographic surname, indicating someone who lived near a path or road, or a habitational surname, referring to someone from a place with a similar name. Historical records show instances of the Vìes surname in various Spanish-speaking regions, particularly in areas with historical Basque influence.

Geographically, Vìes can be a place name. For example, there is a locality named Vìes within the municipality of Fene, in the province of A Coruña, Galicia, Spain. This area is part of the Rías Altas region, known for its coastal landscapes. Information about this specific location often appears in local administrative records and regional maps of Spain.

The pronunciation of Vìes is typically [ˈbi.es] in Spanish, with the accent on the first syllable. The "v" is pronounced similarly to a "b" in many Spanish dialects. The spelling with the acute accent over the "i" indicates the stressed syllable. Without further context, the term Vìes most commonly refers to either the surname or the Galician locality.
