1612, Diego Mugerza in Motriko in 1641, Miguel Muguerza in
Berastegi 1666, Pedro Mugerza in Zumaia in 1710. Juan Mugerza

1323, other reference to other Mugerza in Tolosa in 1346. and
other in Aramaiona (Araba) in 1687

Mugar, or Muger means silex, there are other authors that think
that MUGAR or MUGER is a contraction of Mugarri, that is the
stone that marks property limits, or borders, the suffix ZA or
TZA means abundance
