The "vegueria" was a territorial organization of Catalonia headed by a "veguer" (Latin: ). The origins of the vegueria go back to the era of the Carolingian Empire, when vicars (Latin: , singular ) were installed beneath the counts in the Marca Hispanica. The office of a vicar was a vicariate (Latin: ) and his territory was a vicaria. All these Latin terms of Carolingian administration evolved in the Catalan language.
