García (surname)
Garcia or García is a Basque origin surname common throughout Spain, Portugal, parts of France, the Americas, and the Philippines.
It is attested since the high Middle Ages north and south of the Pyrenees (Basque Culture Territories), with the surname (sometimes first name too) thriving especially on the Kingdom of Navarre and spreading out to Castile and other Spanish regions.
Ramón Menéndez Pidal and Antonio Tovar believed it to derive from the Basque word (H)artz, meaning "(the) Bear". Alfonso Irigoyen suggests it may come from a Basque adjective garze(a) meaning "young", whose modern form is gaztea or gaztia. A third etymology suggests it may derive from the Basque words "Gazte Hartz", meaning "(the) young bear". Variant forms of the name include Garcicea, Gartzi, Gartzia, Gartze, Garsea, and Gastea.
There are Gasconic cognates of Garcia like Gassie and Gassion (Béarn, Gassio 14th century, real name of Edith Piaf, born Edith Gassion).
It is a surname of patronymic origin; García was a very common first name in early medieval Spain. García is the most common surname in Spain (where 3.32% of population is named García) and also the second most common surname in Cuba. It has become common in the United States due to substantial Latin American immigration, and is now the 8th most common surname in the U.S.

Safe Distance
by: King RossYou brought me out to the desert
I wandered the cactus and sand
You carried a bucket of water in Your hand
You knew my intentions were noble
But I have not read the map for a long, long time
You kept up the pace and You waited
For me to take a look behind
Why did I have to get so dry before I said...
Don't keep a safe distance away
I sure don't need personal space when it comes to You
I'm desperately needing a meeting with You
You give me the room to be stupid
You give me the freedom to run
You show me the easy way and watch me pick the hard one
I am tired of the distance between us
Cause I know that it keeps me from intimacy
Its really a matter of physics
The power of the gravity depends on the proximity and so I say...
Don't keep a safe distance from me
I sure don't need room to be free from the love of my life
