Villanuño de Valdavia was named for its re-settler, Nuño. "Valdavia" refers to the valley of river Avia. Arenillas de Nuño Pérez is named for sandstone river deposits; "de Nuño Pérez" was added in the 12th

In the middle of the 14th century, the lord of Villanuño was the
powerful Juan Rodríguez de Cisneros.
