Hello, Barbara,
I don't have the same document as Antonio, but I fully support his answer.
The only correction I'd like to make is that Limia/Lima is not a land, but a
river. There's a land in Spain called Xinzo de Limia, but there's also a
Ponte de Lima. Your surname can descend from this guy's family or simply
from others that lived in one of these towns.

Hi Barbara
According to a book I have on the Noble families of Portugal . The first
person recorded with the surname Lima was D. Joao Fernandes de Lima,(the
good). He was from the land of Limia(Lima) in Galicia. Lima is also the
Portuguese word for Lime.
