Macías
Macías (also spelled Macias) is a Spanish surname found to varying degrees in Europe and Latin America. The first Equatoguinean President had that surname and was sometimes mononymously called Macías. Within Spain, its frequency is highest in Extremadura, followed by Andalusia, the Canary Islands and Castile and León. In Mexico, there are concentrations in Los Altos de Jalisco, Tamaulipas, and along the Texas-Mexico border. There is no singular theory as to the origin of Macías. A long-standing argument over its origin revolves around whether or not it is of a Sephardi origin. Some argue that Macías originates from the Spanish version of the Hebraic term for the Messiah, while others hold that Macías (pronounced in some areas in Spain) actually is the Spanish version of the Biblical name, Matias or Matthew.

Macia
Macia is a small town in Gaza Province, Mozambique, and the seat of the Bilene Macia district. In 2008 its population was 25153. Location It caters for the areas of Mazivila, Dzimbeni, Macuane, Machimba, Ghombane, Zukula, Nwampaku, Incaia, and Machenganyane. History During the Mozambican Civil War, people around these villages used to live in town, as it was safer, compared to other villages. However, since Renamo forces targeted the towns most, it apparently appeared to the villagers that towns were not the ideal places to hide. As such, they started going back to the bush for the night, going back to town in the morning. The town is starting to develop after being badly destroyed during the Civil War, which lasted more than a decade. Commerce The town has a market where people from the small villages come to buy and sell their products. Macia owes much of its economic vibrancy to its location on the intersection of the main highway of Mozambique (EN1) with the road to ...
