Oveco

Oveco is a masculine given name from the Iberian Peninsula. It was most commonly used in northwestern Iberia. Its etymology is uncertain. A connection to the place name Oviedo has been suggested. A connection to Latin ovis is unlikely. It is probably of pre-Roman origin, being either Iberian or, most likely, Celtic. A connection to Basque hobe has been proposed, which would suggest a Christian name similar to Agathos or Bonus.
The name was unpopular by the 13th century. The standard patronymic forms were Ovéquiz and Ovecoz.
