The history and heraldry of the family name Macia appears in the book "Apellidos y Escudos sevillanos y cordobeses y que pasaron a Indias" by Jose Maria de Mena. The family names of Seville, among which is the surname Macia, come mostly from the two hundred knights of lineage who reconquered Seville in 1248, accompanying King San Fernando. These surnames are, in part, from some Sevillians prior to the invasion of Spain by the Moors, that is, they go back to the Visigothic period, and even to Roman times. Some descendants of those Sevillians of the 8th century, after having lived five hundred years in exile in Asturias, Galicia or Leon, returned to Seville. Other surnames from the time of the Reconquest are of Galician, Asturian, Castilian, Catalan or Navarrese origin, of knights of San Fernando that even without coming from old Sevillian families, they decide to stay in this city.
