Anglada (surname)

Anglada is a Catalan-language toponymic surname.[1] It can also be rendered s'Anglada, Zanglada, and Inglada.[2][3]

Although anglada can also be Catalan for "meander",[2] the surname independently comes from the Latin angulata, "corner", which would refer to specific parcels of land.[4] It can also be a transposition of the Latin surname de Angularia, although a derised one.[5]
