@amapanda@en.osm.town I imagine that the number of place names is related to Galicia's famously smaller agricultural lands (minifundios, as opposed to the latifundios that were normal in the rest of Spain).
If you can read Spanish, see https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minifundio .

@aarbrk@mstdn.mx @amapanda@en.osm.town That makes sense, it's broadly what I had in mind but had forgotten the specific term. I wonder if some of these names are similar in nature to the field names in Ireland that @BUnicycling@mastodon.ie has written about - the very small area suggest some of them might be, or at least may have started that way. I think field names mapped in Ireland have generally been tagged on an object representing the field itself, rather than with generic place tags, so wouldn't show up in this query.
