Re: Almanza
It may not be after the city in Spain. It may be a variation of Almanzo. Before clicking on your post, I thought you were going to talk about a feminine variation of Almanzo. Almanzo described at some point that his name came from El Manzoor.

Probably more accurate to say that both Almanzo and Almanza are anglicized forms of El Mansoor / Al-Mansur. I'm sure there are other variants, too. Just a quick google gave me Almansur and Almanzor.
