History

Origin of the name

The name of the barrio has its origins in Europe. Its name is, however, not found in any other part of Puerto Rico. The barrio, the tallest peak in the barrio, and the river that runs through it are all called Marueño.

In the Aragonese language, the name “Marueño” means “a bunch of rocks”. The name could also be related to another word of Aragonese origin – “murueño” – meaning “the end of a field”, thus it could then refer to some boundary or refer to the low fence walls used to mark the edge of properties.
