That name defines the people as originating from a certain geographical point, when in SEE BELOW

Explanation:
The English comes out much longer because of the difficulty of explaining gentilicio. As you see, I have taken the liberty of paraphrasing. HTH

*That name defines the people as originating from a certain geographical point, when in fact they come from a certain geographical type of place*

The term originallly refers to a geographical feature

Explanation:
"En origen" here isn't talking about the origin of the people but rather the name. It's not really necessary to define "gentilicio", as Pasiego has already been referred to as the name of the inhabitants, so "term" works fine.
