Araguz= Ragoza = Debrovinik

I've been reading a lot about our last name and it appears that we originate from Croatia. The name appears written in different variations because of the many travels the mariners had through out the world. Thus, however they could pronounce it, they spelled it. Arague, Zaragosa, Argooz, etc. The voyages are linked back to the mid 1500's or so. If im in-accurate, please let me know, other wise our coat of arms hails from Croatia thus linking us there. My theory on how we landed in Spain is simple. The officers in charge of these mariners were Spaniards and the Ragozans, ( us ), followed and made our homes there. That's just a theory judging from what I read.
