Info regarding the name URIAS,
I suppose you're hispanic, correct? Well my mothers maiden name is Urias, and she is from Sonora Mexico...She is from a small town called Atil...My great grandfather was from Atil... My grandfather looked Indian, maybe Pima or Yaqui. My grandfather was born in 1902, so I imagine my Great Grandfather was from the mid to late 1800's.
One of the other people answering you was correct insaying that the Last name is Hebrew, and mentioned in the Bible, but my theory is that since these towns in Mexico, especially in Sonora, were founded by Jesuit Priests, they were the names the Indians were Baptized with when converted to Christians.
