Covarrubias is a surname in the Spanish language, although it is derived from the Valencian language, as Catalan is designated in the region. It originated in the town of Cocentaina, province of Alicante[1] in the Valencian Community, Spain.
It is compounded of the words cova (cave)[2], ruber (red)[3] and the suffix ia (that has the quality of),[4] meaning "the cave that is red" or simply "red cave".[5] Its correspondent coat of arms was first described in 1592.[1]
There is a village and municipality of the same name in northern Spain, that was founded in the 7th century by the visigothic king Chindasuinth.
