Meaning & Origin of Zea
Origin: Galician/Spanish (surname, a variant of Cea, from Iberian place names).
A common claim: commonly said to mean 'grain,' from the Latin word zea (as in Zea mays, the botanical name for maize), or treated as a variant of the name Zia Actually: The documented surname history of Zea points to Spanish/Galician place names, not the Latin grain word -- the 'grain' meaning appears to be a coincidental overlap with an unrelated Latin botanical term.
