Escarrà

Escarrà is a Spanish surname, predominantly found in Catalan-speaking regions. Its etymology is possibly derived from the Catalan word esquerrà, meaning "left-handed". The surname may have originally been a nickname for a left-handed individual, a common practice in many cultures to identify distinguishing physical traits.

As a surname of Catalan origin, Escarrà is primarily concentrated in the autonomous communities of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands. Due to emigration, bearers of the name can also be found in other Spanish-speaking countries, though it remains relatively uncommon.
