Toponomy
[edit]The prefix "son" could derive from the apocope of font, fonte, or fontes, which in turn comes from the Latin fonte sica, meaning dry spring or springs that do not flow, such as the numerous wells found in the orchards of its municipality. According to this, it would match populations mentioned in the region during the 11th and 12th centuries, such as Fonte Sicca, Fontes, Selcal, or Fonte de Yuncar.
