Illa de Arousa
Scholars say that in "Ara" means "source of the head", and in Gaelic "Before the ear" (in toponymy refers to a coastal outcrop). Arautia also adds the ending "aunt" of participle, meaning "the one before the ear" (and the "ear" turns out to be the Barbanza Peninsula). In this way, Arautia would mean: "before the ear - Barbanza" or "east of Barbanza"''.
