-Origin Displayed: Spanish
-Where did the Spanish Mujica family come from? What is the Spanish coat of arms/family crest? When did the Mujica family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?
-The distinguished Spanish surname Mujica is of Basque toponymic origin, deriving from the place name where the first bearer lived or held land. This toponym derives from the Basque word "muxica" which signifies either "peach, peach-tree or fern." Thus, this place name can be interpreted as "place of the peach orchard" or "place where ferns grew in abundance." Therefore, the original bearer of the surname Mujica was someone who was identified by the members of his community as "one who hailed from Múgica."
-Spelling variations of this family name include: Múgica, Múxica, Móxica, Mojica, Mujico and others.
-First found in the town located in the district of Guernica, Vizcaya in the Basque Country. Mujica is the surname of a noble Basque family who were related to the Avendaño family. Early records show the progenitor of this family was Juan Galíndez de Avendaño, a first son and heir of Fortún García de Avendaño, lord of Aramayona, Múgica and Arteaga.
-Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Lorenzo De Mujica who voyaged to New Spain in 1564; Alonso de Mojica who sailed to New Granada in 1569; and Francisco De Mojica who arrived in Cartagena in 1597. Among later settlers were Lucas Mojica Hermoso who emigrated to Puerto Rico in 1874.
