The distinguished Spanish surname Duenas appears to be of local origin, being derived from the name of a place where a man once lived or where he once owned land. Ths place name is believed to be derived from the Spanish word "duenas" (from the Latin dominus, lord), which is the feminine form of "duenos," and means "proprietresses or heiresses," and may have been originally used to describe an area owned by an heiress, or where a few heiresses lived.
