Re: Alzadie
in reply to a message by lac
Alzadia is the name of a construction, works, and urbanism company from Valladolid, which also works in the property and consultancy fields; the building named Alzadia has been build by this company. The company name is based in the word alzado, "elevation", very common and characteristic from the architecture world, with the ending -ia, similarly to other consulting company names (as Altadia).I can assure that Alzadia is not a Spanish word or name.The name Alzadie is found among old Quebecois names, some of them with the starting Alz- (Alzéa, Alzidée...):http://sites.rapidus.net/jhuriaux/femmesa.htmlTo me, it seems an old Quebecois creation, combining two lexical pieces, Alz- and -adie (Arcadie, Auladie, Alizadie...).
