Toponymy The toponym is a compound name, literally meaning "upper orchard", combining huerta, derived from Spanish huerto and ultimately from the Latin hortum ("garden, orchard"), with arriba, meaning "above" or "upper". The name distinguishes it from neighbouring Huerta de Abajo, literally meaning "lower orchard", with both settlements situated along the Tejero River, Huerta de Arriba lying upstream from Huerta de Abajo.
