The origin village is Berber and its current name is probably related to a tribe that migrated to Andalusia in the eighth century and given its name, Ta Kurunna in a mountainous region around Malaga. Following the expulsion of the Moors in 1609, an immigrant family would settle in the village and gave it its name.
