Toponymy
The place name of Son Servera appears documented for the first time in 1560. The term Son comes from the Majorcan Ço (això) de'n , widely used to refer to large possessions , which literally means "this of" . The term Servera comes from the surname of the first owners of these lands. The word refers to the common rowan tree , which in Catalan is called cervera , which appears on the town's coat of arms.
The name of Son Servera displaced the old one of Binicanella , an Islamic farmhouse that appears documented as Benu Quinena in the 13th century . That place name, in disuse since the 16th century , was recovered in 1967 for the foundation of a Benedictine monastery in Son Servera called Santa María de Binicanella, which was moved to Buñola eight years later.
The only demonym used is that of serverino/a.
History
The square of San Juan, in Son Servera
Son Servera once belonged to Artá , (Arabic terminology for Yartan ) just like Capdepera . Starting in 1820 and due to the new law that proclaimed the ability to create a municipality for any nucleus of more than a thousand inhabitants, it became independent, although soon after, in 1824, it lost it and did not recover it until 1837, when Don Francisco Servera was its first mayor.
