Last name origins & meanings:
- Portuguese (Sá): variant spelling of Saa, a
habitational name from any of the numerous places named Saa, mainly in
northern Portugal and Galicia.
- Korean: there are three Chinese
characters associated with this surname. Two of these are extremely
rare and are not treated here. The remaining Sa surname is also quite
unusual. There are two distinct clans, one of Kyŏngsang South
Province’s Kŏch’ang County and the other originating with a refugee
from Ming China who came to Korea near the end of the Koryŏ period
(ad 918–1392).
