What Does "Crivillén" Mean?

Have you ever wondered where the name Crivillén comes from? A historian named Agustín Ventura Conejero studied this. He believes the name has ancient roots.

It likely comes from a Latin phrase, Fundus Crivillanus. In Latin, "Fundus" means a farm or a place. "Crivillanus" might have come from a name like Criviliano or Crivilio.

Historians think Criviliano or Crivilio could have been a Roman official. Over time, the name became shorter. It changed from Fundus Crivillanus to Crivillanus. Then it became Crivillán or Crivillén, which is the name we use today.

This shows how old the town's history is. It connects Crivillén back to Roman times.
